DESCRIPTION:

On Tuesday, September 2nd, join us for an online discussion about coping through life changes and aging through an Autistic lens. Our discussion will be based on the book Unmasking for Life, the follow-up to Unmasking Autism, both written by Autistic professor and advocate Devon Price.

Although it is suggested, obtaining and reading the book yourself is TOTALLY OPTIONAL! This discussion will focus on Chapter 6, “Life”. We will cover topics such as pursuing passions, coping through Autistic burnout, and aging. We will also share our own experiences and strategies to foster a supportive Autistic community.

As Price explains, Autistic masking is "an attempt at hiding [one's] disability that many undiagnosed Autistic people take part in", which often leads to harmful consequences. Unmasking for Life explores tools for navigating friendships, family, work and love in order to live one's best unmasked Autistic life.
