Abstract:
"An honest and eye-opening collection of stories from the lives of late diagnosed autistic women across the world, brought together with thoughtful observations from neurodivergent advocate, Jodi Lamanna. Exploring life before and after diagnosis and covering topics such as masking, social interaction, parenting and employment, this book provides much-needed insight into the challenges and successes of late diagnosed women. With chances for reflection on your own experiences, informative diagnosis tips and guidance on what can be done in the future to properly support autistic women, this is an essential read for late diagnosed women and those supporting them."-- Provided by publisher.
