Today Alayna welcomes Dr. Devon Price, a social psychologist and acclaimed author, to explore the intersections of neurodivergence, queerness, and authentic self-expression. Together they delve into masking, the challenges of navigating relationships as a neurodivergent person, and ways to overcome societal expectations. Dr. Price offers advice on building meaningful connections and embracing your individuality. 


This episode answers questions like:

  • What is masking, and how can we undo this process?
  • How do sensory needs influence intimacy, and how can they be honored in relationships?
  • Why is community so vital for self-discovery and healing?
  • How can neurodivergent people approach dating and connection?

  • Devon Price is a social psychologist, professor, and the author of several books, including Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity and the forthcoming Unmasking for Life: The Autistic Person's Guide to Connecting, Loving, and Living Authentically, which comes out in March 2025. He writes regularly about neurodiversity, radical mental health, queer sexuality, and culture for free at drdevonprice.substack.com. He lives in Chicago with his chinchilla Dump Truck and his cat Loqi.
