Women with Autism: Accepting and Embracing Autism Spectrum Disorder as You Move Towards an Authentic Life

Are you wondering whether you have autism? Or perhaps you’ve been recently diagnosed. Dr. Claire Jack takes you through what to expect when coming to terms with autism and how you can move beyond feeling fearful, unsure and confused to feeling confident in yourself. Being a woman with autism makes life tough. Many women adapt by masking who they really are and living lives which are not true to their needs. Based on her experience of coaching women with autism throughout the world, and of being a woman with autism, Dr. Jack helps you move beyond your diagnosis towards accepting and embracing yourself and your autism as you move towards self-compassion, acceptance and authenticity. This book provides a checklist of women’s symptoms and discusses the stages involved in seeking out a diagnosis. The interactive nature of this book helps you identify what steps you need to take to live a happy, fulfilled life and put in place healthy boundaries which allow you to meet your needs, from making time for special interests to preventing social burnout. Whatever stage you’re at in your journey, this book will help you establish where you want to be and how you’re going to get there.
