Download or read book The Undercover Autistic written by Leigh East and published by . This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you self-identify as Autistic, or have a formal diagnosis, coming to this realisation can generate a lot of questions and new challenges. In a culture where Autism is still poorly understood, and timely support difficult to access, this book provides a detailed look at the impact of identification and strategies to help. Here Leigh examines her journey in some depth, from euphoric highs to crashing lows. She knows what it is like to have lived one life pre-diagnosis and be confronted with a whole new perspective on that life. She understands the effort carving out a new path demands, and the time and energy involved in reconnecting with one's personal history. While she appeared to be coping on the surface, by the time she discovered Autism she had been overloaded by her use of camouflage and hypervigilance for decades. Working 24/7 to interpret and manage a world which often overwhelmed her, she carried a lot of negative baggage about herself which needed unpacking in light of her diagnosis. For Leigh, discovering other perspectives on Autism proved life changing. Invaluable concepts like: Neurodiversity, energy accounting, camouflaging, sensory sensitivity, and Autistic burnout, are often easy to miss as we try to understand this new information about the way our brain works. This book unpacks these important perspectives and techniques. Leigh also calls out the ways in which our culture and the dominant medical model of Autism undermines people who experience the world differently. Post-diagnostic support is often limited and expensive, Leigh's book shares lots of ideas which may help you move forward if formal support is not readily available to you. "What a revelation. When I was first told I was Autistic I didn't know what to do or think. Leigh's book is packed full of useful information and ideas. Her perspective gave me hope and the confidence to think about my diagnosis in a whole new way." Gail (47) "Leigh emphasises the importance of taking a positive approach, looking at our strengths first. She introduced me to concepts which have gone on to change the way I choose to live my life".

Download or read book Strong Female Character written by Fern Brady and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Witty, dry, and gimlet-eyed, this is a necessary corrective in a world where Autistic women are all either written off as quiet and docile, or erased entirely.” —Devon Price, Ph.D., author of Unmasking Autism Scottish comedian Fern Brady was told she couldn't be autistic because she'd had loads of boyfriends and is good at eye contact. In this frank and surreal memoir, she delivers a sharp and often hilarious portrait of neurodivergence and living unmasked. After reading about autism in her teens, Fern Brady knew instinctively that she had it—autism explained her sensory issues, her meltdowns, her inability to pick up on social cues—and she told her doctor as much. But it took until she was thirty-four for her to get diagnosed. Strong Female Character is about the years in between, and the unique combination of sexism and ableism that so often prevents autistic women from getting diagnosed until adulthood. Coming from a working-class Scottish Catholic family, Fern wasn’t exactly poised to receive an open-minded acceptance of her neurodivergence. With the piercing clarity and wit that has put her at the top of the British comedy scene, she now reflects on the ways her undiagnosed autism influenced her youth, from the tree that functioned as her childhood best friend to the psychiatric facility where she ended up when neither her parents nor school knew what to do with her. In a memoir as hilarious as it is heartbreaking, Fern leaves no stone unturned while detailing her futile attempts at employment, her increasingly destructive coping mechanisms, and the meltdowns that left her mind (and apartment) in ruins. Her chaotic, nonlinear journey—from stripping to getting arrested to finding a lifeline in comedy to her breakout appearance on the Taskmaster TV show as her full, unmasked self—is both a remarkable coming-of-age tale and a dark but poignant tribute to life at the intersection of womanhood and neurodiversity. Strong Female Character is a story of how being female can get in the way of being autistic and how being autistic gets in the way of being the 'right kind' of woman.

Book excerpt: Exiled soap star Celia Cross had taken a lot of diverse parts in her life, but when she rescued a clinging-to-life man off the Malibu shore, she also found the role of a lifetime. Because said man was in fact a federal agent who had uncovered a deadly plot. And for once, "dippy" Celia was in a position to do some good. If only she could convince the rapidly recovering Roy Starr to cast her as his partner.... That was something lone wolf Roy was extremely reluctant to do. His hesitations were twofold: one, the last thing he wanted to do was put his beautiful blond benefactor in danger. And two, when the play-acting was over, would he be tempted to turn this bit of stunt casting into the real thing?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeannie grew up with autism, but no one around her knew it. Twirling Naked in the Streets will take you on a journey into the mind of a child on the autism spectrum; a child who grows into an adolescent, an adult, and becomes a wife, mother, student, and writer with autism. This is a gripping memoir of a quirky, weird, but gifted child who grows up never quite finding her niche. It took 38 years to discover that all the issues, problems, and weirdness she experienced were because she had Asperger's Syndrome (AS), a form of high-functioning autism. The tale begins at age three and takes us all the way through her diagnosis. Along the way she explains autism in a way that will have fellow "Aspies" crying tears of joy at being understood, and "neuro-typical" people really starting to grasp the challenges that autistic people face every moment of every day.
