WAVE Book Club - Unmasking Autism
Jul 28, 2026 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity: For every visibly Autistic person you meet, there are countless "masked" Autistic people who pass as neurotypical. Masking is a common coping mechanism in which Autistic people hide their identifiably Autistic traits in order to fit in with societal norms, adopting a superficial personality at the expense of their mental health. In embracing neurodiversity, we can all reap the rewards of nonconformity and learn to live authentically, Autistic and neurotypical people alike.
When/Where: July 28, 12:30-1:30 pm on Zoom
