Autism and Masking- How and Why People Do It, and the Impact It Can HaveAutistic people often feel they have to present as neurotypical or perform neurotypical social behaviours in order to fit in.

Autistic people often feel they have to present as neurotypical or perform neurotypical social behaviours in order to fit in.

So-called 'masking' is a social survival strategy used by autistic people in situations where neurodiversity is not understood or welcomed.

While this is a commonly observed phenomenon in the autistic community, the complexities of masking are still not widely understood.

This book combines the latest research with personal case studies detailing autistic experiences of masking. It explains what masking is and the various strategies used to mask in social situations.

The research also delves into the psychology behind masking and the specifics of masking at school, at social events with peers, and at work.

The book looks at the consequences of masking, including the toll it can have on mental and physical health, and suggests guidance for family, professionals, and employers to ameliorate negative effects.

With a diverse range of voices, including perspectives across gender, ethnicity and age, this is the comprehensive guide to masking and how to support autistic people who mask.

This lip balm has worked well for me overall
Size: Pack of 1
This lip balm has worked well for me overall. It does what I want from an SPF lip balm and I have not had any major complaints using it. The only minor downside is that it is a little soft, so when you first start using a tube you may notice a few small chunks on your lips. That has not been a big enough issue to bother me much, but it is worth mentioning. Aside from that, it has been a good product and I would keep using it.

Feels great, no taste, no white cast
Size: Pack of 1
I tried this after reading the great reviews, and because the 3-pack was so reasonably priced. I love this stuff! My new favorite lip balm. It goes on smooth, not shiny, not chalky or white, has no scent or noticeable flavor (NOT MINT, YAY!), not sticky, and it seems to stay on well. I will definitely be ordering this product again!
