Chameleon: An Asperger's Memoir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781070174754)

After decades of navigating a neurotypical world full of anxiety, fear, and self-doubt, Elizabeth was finally given an opinion from a psychologist that gave this facet of her identity a name-Asperger's Syndrome. From inauthentic college friendships to discovering the real meaning of love, Chameleon places readers right beside the author as she tries to navigate a confusing reality that is inconsistent with what she'd expected as a child. Through careful observation, research, and reflection, Elizabeth arrived at a deeper understanding of her unique world, as well as her unique challenges within it. In these pages, you will discover a hidden life filled with insight into a worldview that is alive with detail, immediacy, child-like enthusiasm and joy. A life plagued with confusion and led by a survival mechanism of "social camouflage," in which everyday social interactions come with terrifying anxieties. Elizabeth's memoir serves as a fire lit out of desperation in a dark world for those who seem to function in another plane. Use these words as your ticket to temporarily breach this world and carry with you a new understanding of autism in women.
