For every visibly Autistic person you meet, there are countless “masked” Autistic people who pass as neurotypical. Masking is a common coping mechanism in which Autistic people hide their identifiably Autistic traits in order to fit in with societal norms, adopting a superficial personality at the expense of their mental health. This can include suppressing harmless stims, papering over communication challenges by presenting as unassuming and mild-mannered, and forcing themselves into situations that cause severe anxiety, all so they aren’t seen as needy or “odd.” Dr. Devon Price, author of "Unmasking Autism," will share his personal experience with masking to tell a story of neurodivergence that has thus far been dominated by those on the outside looking in. Dr. Price will speak to honoring the needs, diversity and unique strengths of Autistic people so that they no longer have to mask. In embracing neurodiversity, we can all reap the rewards of nonconformity and learn to live authentically, Autistic and neurotypical people alike.
