Unmasking for Life: The Autistic Person's Guide to Connecting, Loving, and Living Authentically
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, 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.

Hear Me Speak: Understanding Autism Through Our Voices
Autism Society of Iowa [ASI] worked extremely hard to collect the broadest and most diverse collection of narratives for this book. ASI solicited individuals from their adult autism networking group, parent/caregiver support group, monthly newsletter, and by word of mouth. Each narrative was printed as it was submitted with changes made only to grammar and format. Throughout the book, you will also see art and photographs from both self-advocates and parents/caregivers. We thank each contributor for sharing their story and appreciate their candor, honesty and vulnerability.
