Dr. Price makes relevant observations and connections about how masking affects people on an individual level but also how the issue ties into societal/cultural pressures and discrimination. I love books about psychology that draw these connections because it really shows how mental illness and diverse neurotypes are socially seated. They are not just personal flaws that we should be left to deal with alone.
This book gives realistic examples and tips, without flowery language or euphemism. Recommended for anyone autistic, questioning, non autistic neurodivergent people, or anyone who has someone autistic in their life.
The content warnings I tagged indicate the discussion of the topics mentioned, not that the author or content of the book itself is ableist etc.

Content warnings are mostly minor discussions of those topics and how they relate to the experience of being a masked autistic person.eldritch_ace's review

I agree there are problems in the legal system, but I disagree with the politics behind defunding the police. A crime committed by an autistic person or a person of color is not LESS harmful because of their disability or their background. I say that as an autistic person of faith with a multiracial family.
Regardless of religious and political differences, where the topic of autism and masking came up it was informative.
