Actually, I'm Austistic

“Katherine L’Etang’s personal anecdotes, positive advice, and practical tips for living life as a woman with autism or AuDHD are excellent reasons to own, read, re-read, and share this wonderful book. Even more compelling is her focus on not only accepting, but also celebrating, one’s differences. Becoming aware of how to thrive as a human within your brain and body’s capacity is where the magic is, and she brilliantly shows us the way.”
—Carol Stock Kranowitz, author of The Out-of-Sync Child

“So many women have spent years feeling like they’re failing at something everyone else finds easy. In Actually, I’m Autistic, they’ll finally understand why. With warmth and honesty, Katherine L’Etang reveals the quirks, sensitivities, and challenges that others were quick to dismiss—but were part of the experience of being autistic. For countless women, reading this book will feel like being seen, understood, and accepted for the very first time.”
—Suzanne Goh, MD, BCBA, author of Magnificent Minds

“In a world that too often mistakes difference for deficit, Actually, I’m Autistic bears witness to the complexity, beauty, and fullness of autistic life with remarkable honesty and courage. Wise, compassionate, and deeply needed, it’s a gift to autistic readers, to those who love them, and to anyone longing to see others with greater understanding and dignity. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.”
—Cassandra Speer, pediatric chaplain and coauthor of Her True Worth

“Actually, I’m Autistic is a rare find: genuinely educational and beautifully human at the same time. As a psychologist specializing in autism diagnosis and support, I found the information to be accurate, balanced, and thoughtfully nuanced. Whether you are autistic, exploring your neurotype, or a parent trying to understand your child, this book will make you feel seen. I can’t wait to share it with families I work with!”
—Dr. Taylor Day, licensed psychologist
