Picture book for autistic children to help them understand masking before its effects become more damaging, told through the loveable and fun character of Camille the Chameleon.

Hi! I am Camille, the Chameleon. I'm very proud to say that, like you, I am autistic.

I have amazing talents but I'm also very good at camouflaging my difficulties and the trouble is that I don't let my true autistic colours shine through.

Do you want to find out how to really be yourself? With the help of Dr Glòria, I will share my story with you, and the stories of some other amazing autistic children too!"

This gentle and beautifully-illustrated picture book helps children understand what it means to mask, why this is bad for you, and the joy that is to be found when you can share and celebrate your true self.
