Women From Another Planet?: Our Lives in the Universe of Autism

Women From Another Planet?: Our Lives in the Universe of Autism 2014-02-10

Recently diagnosed at age 66, I am halfway through this book and recognizing myself in almost every article. The validation and sense of empowerment after 66 years of being insufficient and defective has been life-changing. Highly recommend
Loved this. Especially the diversity of experiences. Have found it very useful getting family and service providers to understand the complexities of female autism!
It's great to read
mind liked women. I recognized myself in some of the stories. It helped me accept myself better. The mentioning of "personas" and the parallel fantasy world, struck a cord. Also when one of them talked about her relationship with nature and simplicity. When I read those lines, I started crying. It was like reading myself.
