I feel similarly about other more radical ideas, like abolition — it was mentioned, but I wish more time had been afforded to it, and I think this book could’ve been a good venue to get more people interested in DJ and abolition, and I wish they’d taken advantage of that! We go undiagnosed because we do such a good job of hiding our "weirdnesses" (my term for myself) and because most mental health workers are not educated in what autism really is and how so many people learn to blend in. He really challenges you to think about why we have these preconceptions about what autism looks like and how autism shows up in other demographics. Claiming that unmasking is the best way for all going forward is just not true and it disregards the complexity of autism. For every visibly Autistic person you meet, there are countless 'masked' people who pass as neurotypical.

I’d rather hear about anti-work strategies from people organizing from “the bottom” of the class hierarchy than some funded phd pipelined professor. This can include suppressing harmless stims, papering over communication challenges by presenting as unassuming and mild-mannered, and forcing themselves into situations that cause severe anxiety, all so they aren’t seen as needy or “odd.Like for me I'm a label person and it does matter but it also doesn't negate my experiences and the ADHD community and autistic community have so much in common and there's so many similarities that it's better for people to just kind of combine forces and support everyone and each other instead of trying to pinpoint exactly which trait is from ADHD and which trait is autistic. Unmasking Autism" is filled with wonderfully practical exercises and a myriad of people who serve as examples of this journey put forth by Dr.

he shills his “laziness is a lie” book all over social media but has a high paying cushy job in academia and no student loan debt like…okay dude.

Dr Camilla Pang, author of Explaining Humans'Unmasking Autism is at once a most deeply personal and scholarly account of the damage caused by autistic (and all) people leading masked lives, and how unmasking is essential to creating a self-determined, authentic life. Lucky, We went to dinner at his Aunt's house the next weekend she sit me down and told me everything. I am often overburdened with thinking of and anticipating the 500 things other people might be thinking or needing or not communicating with me at any given moment and have been for the near-3 decades of my life, and previously thought this was some millennial quirk to memorialize in comedy format.

this was good i think though I found it very odd he did not mention Asian Americans in his paragraph about other non-white Autistics! I do however see a reader coming off believing that almost all autistic individuals have gender identification issues and tend to belong under the LGBTQ umbrella, and I doubt that to be factual.Being closeted doesn’t make it so you have to drop out of college because you’re in so much pain all the time you can’t keep up. Saying that being closeted is equivalent to having a disability is extremely disrespectful, not only to disabled people but also to closeted people. The author disparages the notion of giftedness, placing the word in quotes any time it is used, and fails to acknowledge the entire 2e population outside of the context of a "trope.

NT brains filter out the details deemed unimportant, seeing the "Big Picture" rather than every single detail - every bush and tree and bird and leaf and telephone pole - and that's just visual stimuli.

Overall it's definitely one that I recommend and one that I look forward to doing a re-listen of with a physical copy and my hand and one that I will refer to in the future. The final thing that bothered me is at the end, when he started getting into accommodations that we as Autistic people need, and how to push for said accommodations. All that said, keeping in mind I’m a relatively critical reader especially when it comes to things I care a lot about, this book is really great as a whole! it seamlessly blends academic knowledge with personal experiences and interviews, and has a really strong voice that’s readable and informative while not being “too” academic. An Autistic Community that is centered around women, afabs, nb, queer, trans, and others that are not cis men.
