About this listen

Live your best, unashamedly unmasked Autistic life with this invaluable resource featuring tools for navigating friendships, family, work, and love, from the author of Unmasking Autism.

Unmasking for Life should be read by not only autistic people but their loved ones, to ensure they facilitate a truly fulfilling life.”—Eric Garcia, author of We’re Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation

Most 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, Unmasking Autism, Devon Price, PhD, has given them the space and the tools to unmask and embrace their neurodiversity. But no matter where you are in the unmasking process, there is still work to be done. Unmasking is more than just a personal process of self-acceptance, after all—it also requires figuring out how to move comfortably throughout life building friendships, nurturing family, pursuing love, finding a means of survival, and expressing oneself on one’s own terms. In order to live a brilliantly unashamed Autistic life, you need more than internal healing—you need practical tools of assertiveness and interpersonal effectiveness, and solutions to the problems of ableism and inaccessibility.

Enter Unmasking for Life, which provides the resources to help you advocate for your needs and invent new ways of living, loving, and being that work with your disability rather than against it. You’ll learn how to develop five key skills for living unmasked in all areas of life:

• Acceptance of change, loss, and uncertainty

• Engagement in productive conflict, discussion, and disagreement

• Transgression of unfair rules, demands, and social expectations

• Tolerance of distress, disagreement, or being disliked

• Creation of new accommodations, relationship structures, and new ways of living

Unmasking for Life will help validate and support you so you can move beyond unmasking your Autism and begin unmasking your world.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains charts, tables, and graphs from the book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Full of real examples of autistics living their best lives, Dr. Price’s work shows me how I don’t have to accept silent suffering, with examples of how to become whole. I found the thought provoking lists especially helpful.

Better Than Years of Therapy

Another piece of amazing work by Dr. Price! These books have been guiding lights in becoming my true authentic messy self. I would probably still be listening to everyone else around me instead of myself without the help of Dr. Price’s books. True lifelines! Thank you!

Outstanding!

Devon Price provides an incredible amount of insight, research, tools, exploration opportunities, reassurance and validation in his books. I continue to be amazed, inspired, and enlightened by his work. I share his books with everyone I know who can also be so inspired and validated. Thank you so much for all you do to teach and advocate.

Another incredible resource

Dr. Price's books have helped me to better understand my autistic identity and my workplace needs. His newest book is a great extension into what living a life as an autistic adult looks like. Just as with the previous autism book Dr. Price interwove this book with useful and meaningful accounts from people all over the spectrum. A must-read for any autistic adult or anyone with an autistic person in their life. :)

A great work of advocacy

Devon’s writing is so quick to the point on how to live your life on your terms, I truly believed we could remove the words disability, autism, etc. from our collective vocabulary and the entire world would still benefit from reading this content.

5/5s as I hope the algorithm continues to share this one for years to come.

Timeless advice for how to stay human.
