Unmasking for life : the autistic person's guide to connecting, loving, and living authentically / Devon Price, PhD.

Price, Devon, (author.).

Summary:

"Most masked Autistics have spent a lifetime being told how to perform neurotypically: how to behave, how to carry themselves, what to feel, and how to live. With his previous book, Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price has given them the space and tools to unmask and embrace their neurodiversity. But no matter where you are in the unmasking process, there is still work to be done. Because Autistic people often fear change, struggle to process unfamiliar situations, and have trauma histories that have conditioned them to avoid conflict, they don't always know how to transform their inner revelations into outer realities. They need more than internal healing-they need practical tools to translate acceptance into assertiveness and interpersonal effectiveness. Enter Unmasking for Life, which provides the resources to help you advocate for your needs and invent new ways of living, loving, and being that work with your disability rather than against it. You'll learn how to develop five key skills for building authentic relationships and living unmasked: Acceptance of change, loss, and uncertainty; Engagement in productive conflict, discussion, and disagreement; Transgression of unfair rules, demands, and social expectations; Tolerance of distress, disagreement, orbeing disliked; Creation of new accommodations, relationship structures, and new ways of living. Unmasking for Life will help validate and support you so you can move beyond unmasking your Autism and begin unmasking your world"-- Provided by publisher.
