The face of autism is changing. And more often than we realize,
that face is wearing lipstick. Autism in Heels, an intimate memoir,
reveals the woman inside one of autism's most prominent figures,
Jennifer O'Toole. At the age of thirty-five, Jennifer was diagnosed
with Asperger's syndrome, and for the first time in her life,
things made sense. Now, Jennifer exposes the constant struggle
between carefully crafted persona and authentic existence, editing
the autism script with wit, candor, passion, and power. Her journey
is one of reverse-self-discovery not only as an Aspie but--more
importantly--as a thoroughly modern woman. Beyond being a memoir,
Autism in Heels is a love letter to all women. It's a conversation
starter. A game changer. And a firsthand account of what it is to
walk in Jennifer's shoes (especially those iconic red stilettos).
Whether it's bad perms or body image, sexuality or self-esteem,
Jennifer's is as much a human journey as one on the spectrum.
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. Jennifer has been there, too.
Autism in Heels takes that message to the mainstream. From her own
struggles and self-discovery, she has built an empire of
empowerment, inspiring women the world over to realize they aren't
mistakes. They are misunderstood miracles.
