Autistic Masking: Understanding identity management and the role of stigma by Am

Description: Autistic Masking by Amy Pearson, Kieran Rose This book aims to define the process of autistic masking and the underlying reasons for its existence. It will consider the social context, including an individuals response to stigma or trauma, that facilitates impression management. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Masking is a form of identity management involving consciously or unconsciously suppressing aspects of identity and action. Often seen in socially marginalised groups, it is found to contribute towards poorer outcomes for autistic people and is related to higher prevalence of suicidality, exhaustion & burnout, and mental health difficulties. Though masking has been predominantly framed as a social strategy to blend in with neurotypical (non-autistic) people, emerging research suggests that masking can also form as a response to stigma and from traumatic experiences. Taking an intersectional lens to consider how autistic identity may interact with other aspects of selfhood, the authors will provide a holistic understanding of the most up-to-date evidence with the aim to develop solid knowledge and practice in health and education.

Conclusions; summary; moving forwardAppendices: glossary Review Im an autistic therapist who provides autism-focused and neurodiversity affirming therapy in California. Dr. Amy Pearson and Kieran Roses work on autistic masking has played a fundamentally significant role in informing my therapy practice. Conceptualizing autistic masking as a trauma response has allowed me to better understand the psychological underpinnings of autistic burnout, stigmatization, and the intersection between autism and other marginalized identities. By applying this knowledge, I hope to inspire my clients to live more authentic and joyful lives. I believe that this latest book, Autistic Masking: Understanding Identity Management and the Role of Stigma, will continue to be highly influential in my future therapeutic work. --Riley J.
