Soren O. Vogt Umasking Autism in Adults

Produktbeskrivelse

For decades, autism has been spoken of mainly in the context of children. Countless resources exist for parents, teachers, and caregivers, yet the voices and experiences of autistic adults remain overlooked and misunderstood. Many adults have spent their entire lives unaware that they are autistic, living behind carefully constructed masks that allowed them to blend into a world that was not built with them in mind. While masking can help with survival, it often leads to exhaustion, burnout, and a painful disconnection from one's authentic self. Unmasking Autism in Adults: A Practical Guide to Recognize, Support, and Empower Autistic Adults While Overcoming Hidden Struggles offers a compassionate and practical roadmap for autistic adults who are ready to step out from behind the mask. It is also a valuable guide for friends, families, and professionals seeking to better understand and support the autistic adults in their lives. Written with clarity, warmth, and depth, this book explains what autism looks like in adulthood, why so many adults remain undiagnosed, and how masking shapes daily life, relationships, and mental health.
