ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jean
Williams is an autistic woman who grew up the only child
of
brilliant parents who never sought a diagnosis for her,
seeing
her only as difficult, problematic and an
under-achiever.
Diagnosed as a young adult, Jean struggled for
years with
issues of self-esteem, and never even hoped to find
self-love.
An unfulfilling career as a Software Engineer, and
difficulties
making and keeping friendships added to her view of
herself as a
failure. Realizing finally that she never had to
live up to the
ideals of her parents - and looking to find and
live only toward
her own ideals has finally helped her to live
her a life
of
happiness.
