Author(s) : Iain Dolan

Reviews and Endorsements

This essential guide, drawing on the author’s dual perspective as a psychologist and an autistic adult, equips clinicians with the insights and tools needed for neurodiversity-affirming care. It provides practical strategies for recognizing high-masking presentations and addresses complex clinical challenges, such as burnout, trauma, and assessment adaptation. This book is a necessary resource for enhancing clinical practice.
Ray W. Christner, PhD, psychologist, Hanover, PA, private practice

It is clear from the compassionate and informative nature of this book that Iain is drawing from both his lived and professional experiences of autism. It is heartening to read a book on psychological care for Autistic people that is written by an Autistic psychologist.

Get your highlighter ready—this book is packed with clinical pearls and practical guidance! Masking in Autistic Adults: A Clinician’s Guide to Neurodiversity-Affirming Care seamlessly integrates lived experience, clinical expertise, and research. It teaches clinicians to adapt therapeutic models to fit each client, rather than expecting clients to conform to pre-existing frameworks. This is a guide you’ll turn to again and again. Highly recommended for neurodiversity-affirming practice!

This book is deeply needed. It’s the book I wish I’d had during my clinical training. Dolan weaves lived experience, clinical insight, and research with eloquence and compassion. As both an Autistic psychologist and a clinician, his voice bridges two worlds — illuminating what masking feels like from the inside while offering clinicians a practical and affirming framework for care. This is the kind of book that changes how we see our clients — and, potentially, ourselves.
