Gender Autism

This book examines monocyte cytokine profiles and catecholamines in Autism spectrum disorder, genetic studies of autism, treatments, and controversial issues.

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.
