Über Born into a World I Don't Belong In
For women and girls who have been misunderstood, miss-diagnosed and quite frankly missed altogether in getting an autism diagnosis - this book is for you
For decades females on the spectrum went undetected causing a lifetime of struggles, anxiety, depression, missed opportunities and incorrect diagnoses. Women and girls tended to fly under the radar due to the fact that they learned from an early age how to mask, mimic and role-play in order to fit in with societal norms and expectations. Due to a lot of research in this field, there are now a lot more evidence-based theories to support the view that autism is just as prevalent in females as it is in males, but it just wasn't picked up due to the gender difference in presentation. There still needs to be a lot more awareness and information available for women and girls who may feel different but don't know why. Maybe they have been searching for answers in the wrong places. My mission is to help raise awareness of this condition. And who can do this better than a female on the spectrum that walks, talks and lives each day in those shoes?
