I highly recommend a couple of books by Dr. Devon Price. First “unmasking autism” second is “unmasking for life” both have extensive research talking about masking. The second book really gets into how to unmask and live authentically. The other one is “Is this autism? A Guide for Clinicians and Everyone Else” This also focuses on late diagnosed/masked individuals but especially on the recent research from autistic females. I’ve found them to be extremely validating
