Fern Brady was told she couldn't be autistic because she's had loads of boyfriends and is good at eye contact. This is a story of how being female can get in the way of being autistic and how being autistic gets in the way of being the 'right kind' of woman.

A summary of my book:

  1. I'm diagnosed with autism 20 years after telling a doctor I had it.
  2. My terrible Catholic childhood: I hate my parents etc.
  3. My friendship with an elderly man who runs the corner shop and is definitely not trying to groom me. I get groomed.
  4. Homelessness.
  5. Stripping.
  6. More stripping but with more nervous breakdowns.
  7. I hate everyone at uni and live with a psycho etc.
  8. REDACTED as too spicy.
  9. After everyone tells me I don't look autistic, I try to cure my autism and get addicted to Xanax.
  10. REDACTED as too embarrassing.
