Misunderstood your whole life, ashamed, lost, lonely and struggling to cope? Exhausted from trying, but never quite managing, to fit in? Welcome to the Late Discovered Club, home to thousands of late discovered autistic women.
Late discovery can be life-changing - a lifetime of mysteries finally making sense. But there can also be a deep accompanying sense of grief. This is a book about coming home to yourself.
Catherine's empathetic guidance will help you advocate for yourself with a greater degree of self-awareness. With chapters on everything from masking, mental health, meltdowns, and menopause, to burnout, sensory processing, emotions, relationships, and work - this will help you to nurture your strengths as an autistic woman.
You are not alone.

Thoughtful, insightful and compassionate. Packed with the latest research, this book skilfully combines evidence with practical tips and personal insights. It will help so many people discover or rediscover who they are.

As an adult autism psychiatrist I believe "Rediscovered" is an essential handbook for autistic women and people of all ages and backgrounds. Catherine invites you alongside her in this gentle yet persuasive manifesto for rediscovering who you always were.
Andrea Anderson, author of This is Who I Am
A compelling vision and comprehensive manifesto to support generations of late discovered autistic women to live a better quality of life, allowing them to heal and thrive.

Beautifully weaves images of loss, grief, hope and healing. Catherine joins her own voice here with others' to create a guide and signposting for autistic women and indeed, any autistic person who has been left to rediscover themselves without role models or guidance, to a healthier future, one that includes self-understanding, self-worth, and tools for self-care.
