Let this workbook guide you toward your authentic, autistic self. You donât have to hide anymore. If you grew up before the neurodiversity movement, chances are you were taught at an early age that your autistic traits were âwrongâ or âbad.â Whether it was stimming, difficulties with making small talk, avoiding eye contact, sensitivities to loud sounds or certain textures, or even talking passionately about the things you care aboutâsomewhere along the way you learned to mask these aspects of yourself to better fit in, avoid bullying from other kids, and in some cases to even gain the love of your own parents. The problem is that, over time, masking can lead to higher levels of stress, burnout, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and depression.
