Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity by Devon Price PhD is a nonfiction book about autism, masking, and neurodiversity. Drawing on the author’s own experience as an autistic person, along with social science research and personal reflection, it examines how many autistic people learn to hide their traits in order to pass as neurotypical. The book argues that this masking can protect people in the short term but often creates long-term costs such as exhaustion, anxiety, identity confusion, and alienation. Rather than treating autism only as a deficit to be managed, Price frames it as a natural form of human variation with distinct strengths, needs, and ways of being. The book also offers practical guidance for readers who want to explore unmasking safely, build more authentic relationships, and challenge social expectations that pressure autistic people to conform. It is written for autistic adults, especially those who were diagnosed late or have long felt invisible, as well as for allies and professionals seeking a more accurate understanding of autism.
