Price is a professor and member of the full-time faculty at Loyola University Chicago's School of Continuing and Professional Studies.[1][2][3]

Price's written works have explored themes such as Autism identity, trans identity, masking, the mental health consequences of masking, and the process of unmasking. Price has delved into the intersectional nature of neurodiversity and the experiences of autistic people of color.[4][5][6]

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.[7][8] He has spoken on pathological demand avoidance, which he contextualizes as an act of consent and self-advocacy.[9]

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.[10][11][12][13][14][15]

Laziness Does Not Exist has been cited in academic discussions of techniques for education.[16][17]
