In this book, the first her 'Living Autistically' series, Michelle Swan shares what it was like to realise she is Autistic. Like so many late identified autistic people, the discovery came after her children were diagnosed. And like so many, Michelle experienced the process of learning this new information about herself, though not without its challenges, as empowering and transformative. Michelle discusses the emotions and feelings and the practical considerations to take into account while navigating the discovery of neurodivergence, the pros and cons of diagnosis, growing a healthy sense of self during a period of evolving identity that includes disability, and developing new self care strategies. This book will resonate with many who have learned they are Autistic later in life, will be informative for those who have an autistic family member or friend, and will be helpful for those wanting to understand themselves or loved ones better.
