A book that is best when it's doing what is supposed to be, and worst when it's trying to do something else. It's pitched as a guide to autistic masking and a way to review your own making habits, and when it's on task it is insightful and helpful, though it leans heavily on collective anecdote rather than the small but existing body of research on this area. Dr Price isn't that sort of doctor though, they are a social psychologist and far more interested in railing against systemic social issues which pads this book out to the modern expected length for non fiction self help books.
Most of his positions are plausible and passionately argued, and if you're looking for a neurodiversity acceptance manifesto you've found it, but at times it feels like this was written for the approval of an extremely online clique more than the wider neurodiverse community at large. The result is a book that is a bit of a slog to get through with most of its hidden gems buried towards the end, that is going to seem extremely dated in a few short years.
Worth a read/listen if you are curious about the latest social thinking about autism and related conditions, but this wasn't the science backed breakdown and review of how masking develops or functions I was hoping for.
