by Nicky Collins.
Through Autistic Eyes is a collection of stories from autistic women across the globe who gained their diagnosis later in life.
In these deeply personal stories, they describe how their lives changed when they realised it was their neurology that made them different: They weren't weird, they weren't less, and they certainly weren't lazy. They are autistic.
Now, they are sharing what being autistic means to them and how it has shaped their journeys through life. They talk about their struggles, their revelations, their inspirations and their triumphs. More importantly, they offer advice to help other autistic women live their lives their way, while gaining clarity and understanding about their minds and who they truly are.
The women in this book have taught me so much about what it is to live an autistic life. Through their trials and triumphs the book takes you on a journey of acceptance and understanding. I now better understand the struggles my autistic daughter faces and I have a much better idea of how I may help her. I love the fact that she now has a positive voice to read and tips that will hopefully help her. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting a better understanding of what it is to be autistic.
