Asperger’s on the Inside

In Asperger’s on the Inside, Michelle Vines shares deeply personal stories from her life. Always light and charming, Vines takes us on her journey from childhood to adulthood as a neurodiverse person in a neurotypical, male-centric world.

Growing up unaware of the nature of her differences, Vines gives her before and after perspectives on her personal relationships, academic career, professional life and more. This is a must-read for anyone new to learning about their own neurodiversity.

In a time when autistic women’s narratives are relatively few, Vines’ offers kinship and provides a window into the broader autistic experience.
