Résumé
The neurodivergence movement has recently drawn attention to the phenomenon of masking as an aspect of oppression faced by Autistics in social settings. Masking has been theorized across disability studies as an important facet of oppression that is deserving of significant attention. However, current theorizations of masking emphasize the pervasive social aspects, leaving out important epistemic dimensions. In this paper, I examine the phenomenon of masking through the lens of epistemic injustice, illustrating the ways in which masking takes place within the context of knowledge production and dissemination. Employing the framework of epistemic injustice, I argue that Autistics, faced with neuronormative pressure to conceal their Autistic identity traits within the context of epistemic spaces, experience forms of testimonial, participatory, and hermeneutical injustices.
