Unmasking autism by Devon Price is speaking to high functioning autistic adults from white, western, upper middle class, highly educated, with good savings and with a strong safety net of family and friends.

What’s triggering and infuriating to me the most is that on multiple pages it will end with “but if you are black, low functioning or poor tough sh*t lol”. That’s insane! He knows! Most of the stories and people in the book are so highly functioning and so privileged that I thought I put on some Hollywood movies podcast.

I am not implying anything about the author or their intentions.The book is just for people who are the polar opposite of me. I can’t afford the luxury of trying any of this alternative lifestyle bs, or I will end up homeless, jailed or dead.

Are there any literature for those of us who are not this privileged?
