This highly accessible book clarifies many ways that autism can present, particularly in people who camouflage to hide their autistic traits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors take the reader step by step through the diagnostic criteria, incorporating the latest research as well as quotes from over 100 autistic contributors that bring that research to life.
