With his previous book, \u003ci\u003eUnmasking Autism, \u003c\/i\u003e Devon Price, PhD, has given them the space and the tools to unmask and embrace their neurodiversity. But no matter where you are in the unmasking process, there is still work to be done. Unmasking is more than just a personal process of self-acceptance, after all--it also requires figuring out how to move comfortably throughout life building friendships, nurturing family, pursuing love, finding a means of survival, and expressing oneself on one's own terms. In order to live a brilliantly unashamed Autistic life, you need more than internal healing--you need practical tools of assertiveness and interpersonal effectiveness, and solutions to the problems of ableism and inaccessibility. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEnter\u003ci\u003e Unmasking for Life, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich 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.
