Publisher Description
'I realised I had been camouflaging my whole life - I'd been trying to mask my autistic traits and fit in with all the non-autistic people around me.'
Growing up autistic can often feel as though you have to become a chameleon in social situations, camouflaging yourself to fit in with a seemingly neurotypical world. Combining lived experience with scientific research and practical advice, this book is the essential guide to understanding why you mask and how to feel confident without one.
Focusing on diagnostic devices like the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) to discover the situations in which you mask the most and why, alongside a range of techniques, from CBT, compassion based therapy, DBT, and mindfulness to relieve anxiety and reduce stress, this guide gives you all the tools and confidence you need to re-connect with yourself, the things you love and finally, take off your mask.

Frustrating “Additional Content”
I liked the idea. I liked the content. I’m incredibly frustrated with the over complicated process of getting the “freed additional content.” It’s impossible to really use the concepts without going to a website and putting in a code. Why were these pages not included with the audiobook as a PDF attachment? That would have been so much easier. I checked the ebook; you still have to go to the website and enter a code to get access to these pages. It’s ridiculous. It’s just way harder than it needs to be. Why?
