“We will not be ashamed of taking our space in society as the unapologetic Autistic people that we are.”

In this powerful collection of essays, David Gray-Hammond offers a radical, heartfelt exploration of what it means to live unashamed as an Autistic person in a world that too often demands conformity. Drawing on personal experience, community insight, and a deep understanding of neurodivergent culture, Unashamed Autistic challenges the dominant pathology paradigm and reclaims Autistic embodiment as a valid and valuable way of being.

Through chapters on Autistic pride, community, identity, and advocacy, David speaks to the heart of the neurodiversity movement. He interrogates cure culture, critiques systemic oppression, and celebrates the vibrant, and often overlooked sociality of Autistic people. From the depths of addiction to the heights of community belonging, this is a story of transformation and a call to action.

Whether you're Autistic, neurodivergent, an ally, or simply someone seeking a deeper understanding of autism beyond stereotypes and clinical models, Unashamed Autistic is an essential and affirming read. It is both a declaration and an invitation; to join in the radical act of taking pride in who we are.
