Take Off the Mask: An Autistic Woman's Guide to Navigating a Neurotypical World

By Morgan Foley

Morgan Foley is well-known for her hilarious (and often poignant) videos that articulate the experience of being a neurodiverse woman. She speaks to the ways in which being a woman intersect with being autistic: you're expected to socially mask more, to ignore sensory issues from makeup or restrictive clothing, and to constantly self-monitor your behavior since it's scrutinized so closely.

This book gives autistic women the tools they need to navigate a neurotypical world, helping them to be more confident as they learn not just how their minds work differently, but why. Each chapter covers a topic that's pertinent to autism, such as rigid thinking, autistic love languages, and sensory overload. She starts with an illustrative example of each topic, followed by an analysis that explains the example in concrete terms. Morgan also includes reflection questions that help readers contextualize the topic to their own lives.

This guide is perfect for any neurodiverse woman, or someone with an autistic loved one who wants to know more about what autism is like for women.
