Disclosing an autism diagnosis is an issue that pops up throughout people's lives. This insightful book by leading autism advocate Haley Moss unpacks the challenges that disclosure presents at different stages from how to talk about autism with younger children and disclosing a child's diagnosis, through to self-advocacy as an adult.
As autistic self-advocates, our personal stories hold a lot of power: they are sources of strength, tales of overcoming barriers and adversity, and a way for us to assert agency and receive the support we might need. But how do you actually disclose your diagnosis? How do you tell teachers, support staff, colleagues, friends, or anybody else about your disability and account for their varied reactions? Or, if you're a parent or ally, how do you tell the person you're supporting about their own neurodivergent identity and culture?

Disclosure is often a thorny topic, but in this powerful and supportive book, Haley Moss explores the language, history, and stigmas that influence how people perceive autism, breaking down ways to approach conversations about neurodivergence in different contexts. By deconstructing fears around disclosure, Talking the Talk About Autism shows how the experience can be made more impactful, safe, and less nerve-wracking for all those involved.

Haley Moss is an autistic lawyer, educator, and neurodiversity advocate who is passionate about empowering other neurodivergent people and educating the public to create a more inclusive and accepting society. Her writing about autism, neurodiversity, and disability has appeared in publications such as The Washington Post, GQ, Teen Vogue, FastCompany, and others. Haley has been featured in major media such as the TODAY Show, Forbes, CNN, USA Today, Yahoo!, and People.
