Francesca was diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder at the age of 32, having spent many years searching for answers (and being misdiagnosed numerous times along the way). Autism in girls like her is often overlooked, partly because they tend to be better at "masking" their autistic traits than boys. This is the story of how she came to recognise that she was "different", how she coped with the anxiety, emotional suppression, and self-destructive addictions she experienced, and how finding a "label" helped her to understand her life in a new way.

Autorenporträt
Francesca Baird is an author and blogger. She lives in Aberdeen, Scotland with her 10 year old son Oscar, and their very affectionate Cockapoo, Rainbow. She has a degree in Psychology and currently works full time for a process control engineering company.After being diagnosed at 32 with autism spectrum disorder (high functioning autism/Asperger's), Francesca began blogging about her journey to a diagnosis. She hopes that, by writing about her experience of living with autism, she can raise awareness of the condition and help remove some of the mental health stigmas and misconceptions attached to the label.Francesca writes: "If my book prompts even one person to seek a diagnosis to understand themselves better, then I will have succeeded in my goal as an author."
