Masking, when autistic folks do what they can to present as neurotypical to fit in, can be a massive drain on an autistic person. This book dives into why autistic people mask, and the effects on their lives and wellbeing it can have. It presents a variety of experiences across a diverse range of people, and offers advice for neurotypicals on how to support the autistic folks in their lives.
