Autism Uncovered: A Look at the New Faces of Neurodiversity - Paperback

by Byron D. Johnson (Author)

In Uncovering Autism, Byron D. Johnson tells a story of neurodivergence that has so far been dominated by those on the outside looking in by fusing history, social science research, medical advice, and human profiles. He describes his encounter with disguising as well. For people like Byron D. Johnson and many others, autism is a rich source of creativity and aesthetics. Unfortunately, living in a neurotypical society can lead to much suffering and alienation. When wearing a mask, numerous autistic persons struggle for years before coming to terms with who they are. They also have a higher chance of experiencing discrimination due to their race, gender, sexual orientation, class, etc. Characteristics that exacerbate their suffering and obscure them. Byron D. Johnson establishes the basis for discovering and offering self-expression-promoting activities.
