Are you wondering whether you have autism? Or perhaps you’ve been recently diagnosed. Dr. Claire Jack takes you through what to expect when coming to terms with autism and how you can move beyond feeling fearful, unsure and confused to feeling confident in yourself. Being a woman with autism makes life tough. Many women adapt by masking who they really are and living lives which are not true to their needs. Based on her experience of coaching women with autism throughout the world, and of being a woman with autism, Dr. Jack helps you move beyond your diagnosis towards accepting and embracing yourself and your autism as you move towards self-compassion, acceptance and authenticity. This book provides a checklist of women’s symptoms and discusses the stages involved in seeking out a diagnosis. The interactive nature of this book helps you identify what steps you need to take to live a happy, fulfilled life and put in place healthy boundaries which allow you to meet your needs, from making time for special interests to preventing social burnout. Whatever stage you’re at in your journey, this book will help you establish where you want to be and how you’re going to get there.

    This beautifully written book made me laugh and cry and left me with a deep sense of self-awareness, validation and self-compassion, that years of therapy and even training as a psychotherapist, couldn't achieve.

    I was stunned to get behind the typical male stereotype of ASD to see how it manifests and impacts women in ways that are very often overlooked or dismissed. As such, I see this book as essential reading for anyone who diagnoses or works with children or adults with ASD, for all women who have ever hidden their essence, for fear of being simultaneously 'too much and not enough' and for anyone who wants to understand and support their mothers, daughters, sisters and friends with diagnosed or undiagnosed ASD.

    At 55 years old this book has taken me on a roller-coaster of emotions, resulting in a sense of excitement for the future and a desire to reclaim and redefine my life, in a way that embraces my unique being and values my contribution to the world. Thank you Claire Jack for your exceptional work in this field.

    This book is simple, straightforward and very informative! From the part about diagnosis criteria to the part about authentic self actualization in special interests, career and family life, she writes with a kind and informative tone.

    I really enjoyed reading this book. I felt like I connected to a lot of the things the author spoke about and I liked that there were prompts to do at the end of chapters to help me progress.

    As a woman recently diagnosed as Autistic, I purchased this book mainly because of the title. It is written in a touchy-feely cheerleader style, which is not entirely a bad thing. It is nice to know that other late diagnosed women deal with some of the same challenges I experience. However, it can get repetitive and tiring. Additionally, there are so many grammar issues I wonder if this was even run by an editor. Also, and I think other Autistics would agree, why isn't the print justified? It's extremely distracting to read all wonky. Sorry, I tried, but can't recommend it as useful.

    Having seen a few articles and interviews from the author I decided to check out her book. It's alright but wowed me less than Unmasking Autism and a few others I've read. I think largely because it can be fairly generic to self help advice all woman would get and I got a little burned out with the term authentic self. But the were some very good chapters and it breaks things down in digestible chunks.v don't regret reading it but I may have skimmed at times

    The author total lost me at her insistent diagnosis visit to her doctor insisting on a diagnosis telling the dr all the characteristics of a woman with autism. I was blatantly obvious she was at the wrong dr for her diagnosis. It feels I’m getting misinformed from the wrong person in this book based by that visit.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing & Practical
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 29, 2021
    I hadn't realised there were exercises, which as I sat lazily in the garden sun with my feet up and a glass of wine threw me to begin with. I certainly wouldn't be doing them at that moment! I thought how interesting though. As well as a personal journey this book gave examples from the many other women the therapist had seen, which reading about so many differing experiences was so relieving and insightful. There was always something for me to relate to. And the exercises I am sure will be useful as I navigate my way in to a world of understanding myself in a more insightful and gentle way than ever before.
    If you have your diagnosis or are waiting for it, this book will help. I have read so many adult female autism books since the waiting list for assessment is so long. This is the best so far in being practical, having great research and connecting on a personal level all at the same time. Claire Jack's could have done with me as her proofreader though - but that's one of my superpowers haha! Well done. Highly recommended on your path to autistic authenticity.

    1.0 out of 5 stars poorly edited (e.g., Asperger's is spelled as "Aspberger's"!)
    Reviewed in Canada on December 11, 2021
    I would like to say that this is a good and helpful book, since books on ASD in women are rare, but I just can't. The writing style and content is simplistic, especially for someone with a PhD. Note: The author's PhD is in anthropology, not in psychology, and therefore, her expertise in the topic of ASD is questionable, or at least limited/biased by her own experience, which is important, of course, but is not how the book is framed. Finally, the book needs a competent editor: The consistent misspelling of "Asperger's" (as "Aspberger's") is just unacceptable. In short, I was very hopeful when I ordered the book, and very disappointed after reading it.

    What an amazing book. As an undiagnosed female with so many questions, this book has put my whole life into perspective. A must-read for all women who are feeling lost and maybe on the spectrum.
