Cynthia Kim provides unique insight into the challenges of being a woman, wife, and mother with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Interweaving factual information and extensive research with personal anecdotes from before and after her diagnosis, she explores the "why" of her ASD traits, from social awkwardness to rigid behaviors and sensory sensitivities. Positive, honest, and full of advice and information, this book is an invaluable resource for recently diagnosed adults and their partners or family members, carers, and mental health professionals working with individuals with autism, and anyone exploring whether they might be on the spectrum.

Cynthia Kim was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in adulthood. She is a freelance writer and has published both fiction and non-fiction. She runs her own independent publishing company, Turtle Press.
