Career

Price graduated with a BA in psychology and political science from Ohio State University in 2009. He obtained his MS and PhD from Loyola University Chicago where he has been teaching as a clinical assistant professor at the School of Continuing and Professional Studies since 2012.[1] [2] [3]

Price, who identifies as autistic, has explored themes such as autistic identity, trans identity, masking, the mental health consequences of masking, and the process of unmasking in his written works. Price has delved into the intersectional nature of neurodiversity and the experiences of autistic people of color.[4] [5] [6] He is a staunch proponent of self-diagnosis and criticizes clinical evaluations, framing autism as a non-pathological social identity, despite acknowledging it as a neurodevelopmental disability.[7] [8] [9]

His book Unmasking Autism has been cited in academic papers that explore autism from various angles including autism in women and attitudes in college students.[10] [11] He has spoken on pathological demand avoidance, which he contextualizes as an act of consent and self-advocacy.[12]

Price has also written about the concepts of laziness, productivity and self-worth. His book, Laziness Does Not Exist grew out of a viral blog post. He makes the claim that laziness is a sign of other mental health issues.[13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]

Laziness Does Not Exist has been cited in academic discussions of techniques for education.[19] [20]
