What Nobody Nowhere is like to read

An interior autobiography that reconstructs a childhood of misdiagnosis and dissociation from the inside, culminating in the author's late discovery of autism as a framework for her own life. Raw and searching rather than plot-driven. Best for: readers seeking a first-person insider account of autism and the search for self-understanding.
