Summary:
"
Autism
in
Heels
, an intimate memoir and Wall Street Journal bestseller, reveals the woman inside one of autism’s most prominent figures, Jennifer O'Toole. At the age of thirty-five, Jennifer was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, and for the first time in her
life
, things made sense. Jennifer exposes the constant struggle between carefully crafted persona and authentic existence, editing the
autism
script with wit, candor, passion, and power. Her journey is one of reverse-self-discovery not only as an Aspie but -- more importantly -- as a thoroughly modern woman. Beyond being a memoir,
Autism
in
Heels
is a love letter to all women. It’s a conversation starter. A game changer. And a firsthand account of what it is to walk in Jennifer's shoes (especially those iconic red stilettos). Whether it's bad perms or body image, sexuality or self-esteem, Jennifer's is as much a human journey as one on the
spectrum
. Because
autism
'looks a bit different in pink,' most girls and women who fit the profile are not identified, facing years of avoidable anxiety, eating disorders, volatile relationships, self-harm, and stunted independence. Jennifer has been there, too.
Autism
in
Heels
takes that message to the mainstream. From her own struggles and self-discovery, she has built an empire of empowerment, inspiring women the world over to realize they aren't mistakes. They are misunderstood miracles."--Publisher.
