    Summary: 
    At the age of thirty-five, O'Toole was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, and for the first time in her life, things made sense. Now she exposes the constant struggle between carefully crafted persona and authentic existence. Her journey is one of reverse-self-discovery not only as an Aspie but-- more importantly-- as a thoroughly modern woman. She shows that, because autism "looks a bit different in pink," most girls and women who fit the profile are not identified, facing years of avoidable anxiety, eating disorders, volatile relationships, self-harm, and stunted independence. -- adapted from jacket.
