Unmasking Authentically: Reclaiming Your Autistic Identity and Embracing Who You Are

Our society operates on unspoken neuro-normative social rules that emphasise fitting in, keeping the peace, and being liked, desired, respected, or admired. Navigating these hidden expectations is difficult if you think, look, talk, or act differently.
