Produktbeschreibung

Hidden in Plain Sight: A Journey of Autism, Motherhood, and Self-Discovery is a poignant and deeply personal memoir that chronicles one woman's path to understanding herself and her son through the lens of autism, along with a comprehensive guide on how to love and support neurodivergent adults. In a moment that changed everything, the diagnosis of her son's autism opened a door to the past, revealing missed signs and misunderstood behaviors from her childhood. This revelation sets the stage for a journey of self-discovery that is both heart-wrenching and empowering. Revisiting childhood memories, the author reflects on behaviors that, in hindsight, were early signs of autism. From school days filled with social challenges to the influence of family and cultural context, these chapters explore a life lived on the margins of understanding. Navigating the complexities of adulthood, from college to early career, the author shares how she managed to mask her autistic traits. The transformative experience of motherhood brings new perspectives, culminating in the realization of her place on the autism spectrum. Hidden in Plain Sight offers a profound message of self-awareness, acceptance, and the power of advocacy. Additionally, it provides a step-by-step guide on how to love and support a neurodivergent adult, whether in a romantic relationship, friendship, family setting, or workplace. It is a call to action for readers to seek understanding and support, making it an invaluable resource for anyone on a similar journey.
