I listened to this book mostly on audio.  Devon Price, an Insightful and actually autistic author, nicely organized chapters into topics that challenge neuronormative standards of living, describe the dangers of masking, and mentions caveats to consider when unmasking.  Price includes loads of resources. A highly informative, well-researched read with relevant anecdotes from autistic experiences.

some parts of this book felt like Devon came & personally snatched my silly little secret thoughts & feelings out of my head - ohhh they got me good. must read if you’re ruminating on if you’re autistic or neurodivergent…also highly recommend if you have an autistic person in your life.
