'Emily's moving book is a powerful testimony that shines a light on
the continued failure of health services to provide any kind of
meaningful improvement for autistic people. Should be essential
reading for mental health professionals and anyone with autism in
their lives.' - FERN BRADY, author of Strong Female Character 'This
book will bring so many readers self-recognition and comfort.' -
DEVON PRICE, author of Unmasking Autism'Vulnerable, affecting and
deeply personal, this book will go from a message in a bottle to a
rallying cry for many autistic women, girls and young people. We
are not alone.' - Elle McNicoll, bestselling author'A brilliant,
thorough exploration of autistic experience, delivered with
humanity, compassion and vivid clarity.' - Pete Wharmby, author of
Untypical'A magnificent read which manages to be informative,
engaging, sad and uplifting all at the same time.Whether you're
discovering that you're autistic yourself or you simply want to
understand autistic people better, this is a must-read.' - Cathy
Wassell, CEO Autistic Girls Network charity &,amp, author of
Nurturing Your Autistic Young Person'The book I wish I'd been able
to read when I was younger.' - Sarah Gibbs, author of Drama QueenTo
the outside world, Emily looks like a typical girl, with a normal
family, living an ordinary life. But inside, Emily does not feel
typical, and the older she gets, the more she realises that she is
different.As she finally discovers when she is 16, Emily is
autistic. Girl Unmasked is the extraordinary story of how she got
there - and how she very nearly didn't.Still only 21, Emily writes
with startling candour about the years leading up to her diagnosis.
How books and imagination became her refuge as she sought to escape
the increasing anxiety and unbearable stresses of school life, how
her OCD almost destroyed her, how a system which did not understand
autism let her down, and how she came so close to the edge that she
and her family thought she would never survive.In this simple but
powerful memoir, we see how family and friends became her lifeline
and how, post-diagnosis, Emily came to understand her authentic
self and begin to turn her life around, eventually becoming a
mental health nurse with a desire to help others where she herself
had once been failed.Ultimately uplifting, Girl Unmasked is a
remarkable insight into what it can be like to be autistic - and
shows us that through understanding and embracing difference we can
all find ways to thrive.
