Taking Off the Mask

Detailní popis produktu

"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 like you have to become a chameleon in social situations, camouflaging yourself to fit in with a seemingly neurotypical world. This book combines personal experiences, research, and practical advice to help you navigate social situations without feeling the need to hide your authentic self.

By using tools like the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) to identify when and why you mask your true self, along with techniques such as CBT, compassion-based therapy, DBT, and mindfulness to manage anxiety and stress, this guide equips you with the tools and confidence to reconnect with your true self and embrace who you are.

It's all about helping you feel comfortable in your own skin and allowing you to be yourself without the need for a mask.
