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.

Press Reviews

  • Imogen, age 11

    Camille helped me to know it was ok to be me and to have the confidence to try to figure out who I am without the mask. She helped me see that I am not alone and others feel like I do.

  • Flora, age 6

    I liked the book because it tells you things you need to know. Sometimes I have pretended I was ok when I wasn't. Like when I went to drama. I was too scared not to join in so I pretended I was having fun. The teachers even told my mummy how much fun I'd had but I hadn't really

  • Kamilla, age 10

    This book helped me to understand that although it is hard to show your real self sometimes it is important to express your feelings. The chameleon looked so much better when it showed its true colours.

  • Dr Laura Hull, co-author of Autism and Masking

    This book gives a fun and individualised insight into masking for autistic children. I recommend it to families who want to understand masking alongside their children.

  • Helen Ellis, co-author of Autism & Masking

    A really charming book, full of beautiful colourful illustrations and the positive narrating voice of the wonderful Camille! The final promise is one I hold to every day and I hope everyone who reads this amazing book does too!
