À propos de cet audio
This intimate memoir reveals the woman inside one of autism’s most prominent figures, Jennifer O'Toole. At the age of 35, Jennifer was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, and for the first time in her life, things made sense. Now, she exposes the constant struggle between carefully crafted persona and authentic existence, editing the autism script with wit, candor, passion, and power. Her journey is one of reverse-self-discovery not only as an Aspie but - more importantly - as a thoroughly modern woman.
Beyond being a memoir, Autism in Heels is a love letter to all women. It’s a conversation starter, a game-changer, and a firsthand account of what it is to walk in Jennifer's shoes (especially those iconic red stilettos).
Whether it's bad perms or body image, sexuality or self-esteem, Jennifer's journey is as much a human journey as one on the spectrum. Because autism looks a bit different in pink, most girls and women who fit the profile are not identified, facing years of avoidable anxiety, eating disorders, volatile relationships, self-harm, and stunted independence. Jennifer has been there, too. Autism in Heels takes that message mainstream.
From her own struggles and self-discovery, she has built an empire of empowerment, inspiring women the world over to realize they aren't mistakes. They are misunderstood miracles.

Mark Chan this. Mark Chan that. Writer and barista Emily Hung is tired of hearing about the great Mark Chan, the son of her parents’ friends. You’d think he single-handedly stopped climate change and ended child poverty from the way her mother raves about him. But in reality, he’s just a boring, sweater-vest-wearing engineer, and when they’re forced together at Emily’s sister’s wedding, it’s obvious he thinks he’s too good for her. But now that Emily is her family’s last single daughter, her mother is fixated on getting her married and she has her sights on Mark.

When Temple Grandin was born in 1947, autism had only just been named. Today it is more prevalent than ever, with one in 88 children diagnosed on the spectrum. And our thinking about it has undergone a transformation in her lifetime: Autism studies have moved from the realm of psychology to neurology and genetics, and there is far more hope today than ever before thanks to groundbreaking new research into causes and treatments. Now Grandin reports from the forefront of autism science, bringing her singular perspective to a thrilling journey into the heart of the autism revolution.

What is autism: a lifelong disability or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In truth, it is both of these things and more - and the future of our society depends on our understanding it. Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years.

Exercise is health-enhancing and life-extending, yet many of us feel it's a chore. But as Kelly McGonigal reveals, it doesn't have to be. Movement can and should be a source of joy. Through her trademark blend of science and storytelling, McGonigal draws on insights from neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology, as well as memoirs, ethnographies, and philosophers. She shows how movement is intertwined with some of the most basic human joys, including self-expression, social connection, and mastery.

absolutely perfect
this book was everything I didn't even know I needed. I laughed, I cried, and then I cried some more. She gets me and it will help me get my children and figure out myself. Thank you for writing this and sharing it with the world.

Integral to the cannon of autism reads
I rarely give 5 stars, but I had a feeling by chapter 3 this one would be a 5, and it is. I am going to listen to this book many times.
Jennie has a way of describing that is visceral and all encompassing. This book is passionately educational.
I have ready many books on autism and didn't expect to find so much new information, and am grateful for it.
I did expect some perspective on lived experiences, and definitely got that, very richly; thank you.
Now I am going to go check out her other books.

Finally an Autism Story I can relate too
As a female bellydancer, performer, and actress…and a mom to 3 intelligent children, also on the spectrum - I really needed to hear this (more similar to my own) perspective / synopsis of the life of another feminine girly girl on the spectrum!
Nothing made sense, until everything made sense when I got validation with my Autism + ADHD diagnosis’ at the age of 36, and this book explains why. :)
Thank you Jennifer!

amazingly put. she puts into words what I can't.
as a 30 year old female who just got my own ASD diagnosis after my five children got theirs, this book and Jennifer's story has both brought me to tears and just made me feel so NOT alone. so many of our stories are similar and I'm still in awe. although I wish there were more anwsers on how to help with many of the problems and traumas discussed, I know that's not the purpose of her book. it's still nice to not feel, as she put it "like a failure at being human." I am asking all my loved ones to now read/listen to it to help them further understand me, and she was able to word things in ways I could never. as a fellow red haired, mother getting her diagnoses in her adult years after years of wondering what is wrong with me... Jennifer you truly have touched me. xoxo

LOVED IT
I liked that it was narrated by the author. Her words spoke to me and I resonated with so much. I had many "aha" moments and times where tears would fall down my cheeks as I connected with the author. I highly recommend this book!
