Authentic Autistic Living (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Authentic Autistic Living is the second in Michelle Swan's 'Living Autistically' series. In this collection of short essays Michelle continues to explore ideas about how to live well after discovering she is Autistic. Navigating a world that often encourages conformity, reckless business, and putting the comfort of others first at almost any cost, Michelle's focus is now on finding strategies that enable authentic expression of self, continued self growth and self acceptance, and good foundations to develop healthy and fulfilling lifestyle and relationships. She candidly shares what it is like to experience the challenges of being neurodivergent, including meltdowns, shutdowns, sensory overwhelm, anxiety, fear, and burnout. Importantly, she shares without pathologising and with a great deal of hope. Autistic adults looking for encouragement will enjoy this read, as will anyone seeking to understand the experience of autism day to day.
