"But You Said...?!": A Story of Confusion Caused By Growing Up as an Undiagnosed Autistic Person by Emma Wishart
This is the autobiography of someone who grew up not knowing she was autistic. Diagnosed at the age of 45, Emma’s life was fraught with unrecognised danger, but somehow she escaped mostly unscathed.
She describes some of the many dangers and pitfalls there are for the young autistic person who doesn’t understand people and how the world works.
Autism doesn’t always present in the stereotypical ways portrayed in the media or in medical textbooks and the author shares some unique insights into what being autistic means for her.
She hopes to raise awareness of the differences in our cognitive and communication styles in the hope that it will increase understanding for other autistic people.
It is a valuable guide for those wishing to understand autism from the autistic perspective.
It is a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance; a tale of ducks, knitting, music, Antipodean adventure and homelessness.
