U Don't Seem Autistic: Hidden in Plain Sight

How I Unmasked & You Can Too

By: Kathleen Schubert

Narrated by: Kathleen Schubert

What if you found out in mid-life that you were autistic? Kathleen was diagnosed in midlife with autism, and in her new book, U Don’t Seem Autistic, she bravely shares her personal story.

This is a story of empowerment by the discovery of autistic identity, at last! By sharing the pitfalls she has experienced up to mid-life and their relationship to autism, she hopes to help others to seek a diagnosis, as she states women are missed or misdiagnosed due to the gender inequities of diagnosis. She shares her tips for those questioning if they are on the spectrum or currently navigating the diagnosis, natural health tips, working with an autism service dog, and provides solutions for how to make mainstream settings inclusive for neurodiverse people.

This book is for anyone who wants to know more about neurodiversity and neuroinclusivity. It is empowering, feminist, thought-provoking, informative, educational, funny, heartbreaking, and warm.

Critic reviews

"Beautifully written, heartfelt, and very thorough portrayal of life as an autistic woman on her journey of self-discovery. The breadth of this work is inspirational, there are many gems, insights, and practical applications (tips) that will help those on the spectrum, their loved ones and those working in close contact. Shining the spotlight on autistic women who have been underrepresented in the stats for years is timely and very validating."— Suzanne Glendinning, Clinical Psychologist
