Description
It has taken me several years of exploration, but I am at a place now where I see autism as neither an affliction nor a superpower. It's just the blueprint for who I am. There is no cure, but that's absolutely fine by me. To cure me of my autism would be to cure me of myself.
During the first 30 years of her life, comedy script writer Sara Gibbs had been labelled a lot of things - a cry baby, a scaredy cat, a spoiled brat, a weirdo, a show off - but more than anything else, she'd been called a Drama Queen. No one understood her behaviour, her meltdowns or her intense emotions. She felt like everyone else knew a social secret that she hadn't been let in on, as if life was a party she hadn't been invited to. Why was everything so damn hard? Little did Sara know that, at the age of 30, she would be given one more label that would change her life's trajectory forever. That one day, sitting next to her husband in a clinical psychologist's office, she would learn that she had never been a drama queen, or a weirdo, or a cry baby, but she had always been autistic.
Drama Queen is both a tour inside one autistic brain and a declaration that a diagnosis on the spectrum, with the right support, accommodations and understanding, doesn't have to be a barrier to life full of love, laughter and success. It is the story of one woman trying to fit into a world that has often tried to reject her, and, most importantly, it's about a life of labels and the joy of ripping them off one by one.

From childhood, Laura James knew she was different. She struggled to cope in a world that often made no sense to her, as though her brain had its own operating system. It wasn't until she reached her 40s that she found out why: Suddenly and surprisingly, she was diagnosed with autism. With a touching and searing honesty, Laura challenges everything we think we know about what it means to be autistic. Married with four children and a successful journalist, Laura examines the ways in which autism has shaped her career, her approach to motherhood, and her closest relationships.

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.

In Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price shares their personal experience with masking and blends history, social science research, prescriptions, and personal profiles to tell a story of neurodivergence that has thus far been dominated by those on the outside looking in. For Dr. Price and many others, Autism is a deep source of uniqueness and beauty. Unfortunately, living in a neurotypical world means it can also be a source of incredible alienation and pain.

Wonderful, honest, entertaining!
I loved Sara's book. Her journey is nothing less than heroic. Being autistic is no walk in the park, but because she's autistic, she brings her quirky, brilliant uniqueness to the world.

Sara takes us on an insightful journey
This book was recommended to me by my therapist, and I am very glad I listened to it. Those who are interested in learning more about how autism presents in women, Sara’s life story, and how autism could have been missed for so long, would gain something from this book. The discussion of her life through the various labels was an intelligent, creative way to approach this, and it resonated a lot with me. Being made too believe you are just the various labels people give you, and being able to undo that damage and view yourself through a more accurate, gentler lens is one of the many things this book gave to me. It may help you to better understand your life under a new lens, and you may or may not relate to Sara in some ways. It will also challenge any preconceptions you may have about autism. A fantastic read, well written, and well spoken!

This book is incredible
I laughed so hard reading this book. I really resonated with her experience, especially during her childhood. She seems like someone I would want to be best friends with, relatable and so very funny. A wonderful read through and through.

Entertaining yet comforting
I love the way Sara tells her story and the way the chapters were laid out. Growing up, I was labeled all of the same things she was and felt comfort knowing I’m not alone. Other people still tell me I couldn’t be autistic or that I am just being a dramatic hypochondriac, but reading this gave me the confidence that I know myself better than anyone, I most certainly am autistic, and that my lived experiences are real.
