Now what?\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost 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, \u003ci\u003eUnmasking Autism\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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:\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  Acceptance of change, loss, and uncertainty\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  Engagement in productive conflict, discussion, and disagreement\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  Transgression of unfair rules, demands, and social expectations\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  Tolerance of distress, disagreement, or being disliked\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  Creation of new accommodations, relationship structures, and new ways of living\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith powerful insights and transformative resources, \u003ci\u003eUnmasking for Life \u003c\/i\u003eis a practical guide to living a fully realised Autistic life.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e***\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003ci\u003eUNMASKING AUTISM:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'Outstanding.'' -Fern Brady, author of \u003ci\u003eStrong Female Character\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'Reading this felt like being at home - I didn't realise how much I masked.
