Publisher's Summary
Moving house is never easy. But for one English family, making the change from suburban London to rural Wales unearthed more than they’d bargained for. A Life Lived Behind Glass is a true account of a journey into the world of autism, its diagnosis, the discovery of a history of family members on the spectrum, and acceptance and understanding of the condition.
Marcie writes about her own struggle with autism, her childhood experiences, and the process of adult diagnosis. She describes the joy of home education and supporting her family’s unique needs. Her story is set against the dramatic and rugged backdrop of the Welsh countryside.
This memoir is the first in a series of three. The second, Cwtch was published in July and Italy Under Glass completed the trilogy in September 2021. Narrated by the author.

Interesting
This book was well written and incredibly well narrated. I loved the narrator’s voice, as it is smooth and easy to listen to.
The stories were definitely engaging, albeit confusing when the timeline jumps back and forth and all over without much warning.
I disagree with the concept of autistic people not having empathy, and I’m not the only one, so that being brought up so frequently felt a bit outdated.
Otherwise, this book is a nice read and I would best describe it as an autobiography. It is more narrative than informative, so many not the right book if you’re looking for something with a lot of tangible information, as it all blends into personal (yet lovely) stories.
