Kapp SK, Gillespie-Lynch K, Sherman LE, Hutman T. Deficit, difference, or both? Autism and neurodiversity. Dev Psychol. 2013;49(1):59. is the citation Amy Pearson and Kieran Rose in papers on masking and the book too.

"Autism is a form of neurodivergence, characterized by differences to the nonautistic population in several domains, including social and cognitive style, and sensory processing.11" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8992880/pdf/aut.2020.0043.pdf

Struggling with this too! Can you let me know if you find anything good?

I've had some responses over on Twitter, which are not what I'm looking for but might be of use to you! I'm also sure Nick Walker has written one, but I don't have the book to hand right now so can't check...

"Some forms of innate or largely innate neurodivergence, like autism, are intrinsic and pervasive factors in an individual's psyche, personality and fundamental way of elating to the world" (Walker, 2021, p.28).
