Description
Book synopsis
After years of feeling weird, quirky, being bullied and misdiagnosed with a host of other conditions, I was able to finally gain clarity through my autism diagnosis. Autism shows up differently in women than it does in men, and most screening tools are geared towards the male presentation of the condition. Because of that, I remained in the dark about my condition for more than 30 years. I began connecting with other autistic women who were able to provide me with much needed validation. I hope that by sharing my story I can pass that along to others.
