Live your best, unashamedly unmasked Autistic life with this invaluable resource featuring tools for navigating friendships, family, work, love, and life, from the author of Unmasking Autism.

So you''ve discovered what ''masking'' is, how you''re doing it, and the potential of embracing your neurodiversity. Now what?

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, Dr. Devon Price has given them the space and confidence to unmask and embrace their neurodiversity. But no matter where you are in the unmasking process, there is still work to be done. Because Autistic people often fear change, struggle to process unfamiliar situations, and have trauma histories that have conditioned them to avoid conflict, they don''t always know how to transform their inner revelations into outer realities. They need more than internal healing - they need practical tools to translate acceptance into assertiveness and interpersonal effectiveness.

In this book, Devon Price helps you advocate for your needs and invent new ways of living, loving and being that work for you, using five key skills:

· Acceptance of change, loss, and uncertainty
· Engagement in productive conflict, discussion, and disagreement
· Transgression of unfair rules, demands, and social expectations
· Tolerance of distress, disagreement, or being disliked
· Creation of new accommodations, relationship structures, and new ways of living

With powerful insights and transformative resources, Unmasking for Life is a practical guide to living a fully realised Autistic life.
