What I Mean When I Say I'm Autistic
14 januari 2025 · 18 min
This is a special episode where you will hear the first fifteen minutes of Annie Kotowicz’s new book, What I Mean When I Say I’m Autistic, Unpuzzling a Life on the Autism Spectrum. The book is available in both a text and audio version. Check the links below. Lees meer
Annie’s website: https://neurobeautiful.com/
Book link: https://neurobeautiful.com/book/From Annie's website:
This intimate and insightful mix of memoir and manifesto takes you inside an autistic mind, exploring the trials and triumphs of a life before and after diagnosis.
How might it feel to be autistic? Why are autistic and non-autistic people so puzzling to one another? How does neuroscience explain the spectrum of autistic traits? And what could you discover about your own mind — neurotypical or neurodivergent — through learning about another?
Written by an autistic author and narrated by an autistic actor, What I Mean When I Say I’m Autistic offers help and hope to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the autism spectrum. It's a nuanced analysis of autistic thinking, an engaging guide to autistic thriving, and a beautiful celebration of autistic brains.
