FROM THE AUTHOR: My debut autobiographic graphic novel! Raw realities and a candid exploration of my autism from childhood to adulthood. Struggles to acceptances, and being myself. Truly. This book is an exploration of my journey from childhood to the present day, navigating the world through the lens of autism. From the challenges of an adult diagnosis to the struggle of fitting into society’s molds, always being told to be more genuine and to “be myself”, but being told the way I did it was never right. Throughout these pages, I share why receiving a diagnosis saved me, providing much-needed validation and understanding. Looking back, I wish I had this clarity and acceptance earlier in life, during my childhood and teen years, when I was trying to make sense of myself and the world around me. This book is a big heartfelt hug to anybody who reads it, but especially my neurodivergent friends. It is a celebration of being authentically ourselves, celebration of the quirks that make us beautifully different..
