Emily Katy

Emily Katy is a British author and content creator who writes about neurodivergence, particularly autism in women and girls. Girl Unmasked is her account of her experience growing up autistic without knowing it — the masking, the exhaustion of performing neurotypicality, and the liberation of finally understanding herself. The book adds to the growing body of writing by autistic women about the experience of late diagnosis and the particular challenges women face in getting recognised. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers an honest, illuminating account of autistic experience — essential reading for anyone wanting to understand what masking really costs.
