Description
Rediscovered: A Compassionate and Courageous Guide for Late Discovered Autistic Women (and Their Allies) by Catherine Asta is a deeply personal and insightful exploration of the late discovery experience. This book weaves together Asta's own story with the lived experiences of over 100 autistic women, offering a powerful cultural critique of the systems that overlook autistic women. Asta's empathetic guidance supports readers in advocating for themselves with greater self-awareness, tackling topics such as masking, mental health, meltdowns, and menopause, as well as burnout, sensory processing, emotions, relationships, and work. This book is a valuable resource for autistic women, providing therapeutic insight, practical tools, and a sense of community and understanding. By sharing her own journey and the stories of others, Asta shows that being autistic is not something to be ashamed of, but rather a fundamental aspect of one's identity. This book is a powerful reminder that you are not alone, and that with the right support and understanding, you can thrive.
