Autistic Masking: Understanding Identity Management and the Role of Stigma
£0.00
Amy Pearson and Kieran Rose (2023)
Masking, the suppression of aspects of identity, is common among autistic individuals and linked to negative outcomes such as suicidality, burnout, and mental health issues. While often viewed as a social strategy to fit in with neurotypical peers, emerging research highlights its roots in stigma and trauma. This work takes an intersectional approach to deepen understanding and improve health and education practices.
