I think everyone should read this. So well written, supported by a lot of research (the author has a PhD in social psychology) and so intersectional and beautiful

No book has put its hand in my brain and scrambled it around in such a good way like this book has.

5.0

This book has helped me immeasurably. It taught me new and deeper ways of unmasking with the help of what felt like a parasocial relationship with autistic community via the extensive interviews and sources used in the book. It doesn't give you any copout answers; Dr Price lays out the small thing autistic folk like me can do for ourselves but more significantly, the systemic changes we must fight for if the world is to be safe, free and joyful for everyone.
