Autism in Heels an intimate memoir and Wall Street Journal bestseller reveals the woman
inside one of autism's most prominent figures Jennifer O'Toole. At the age of thirty-five
Jennifer was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome and for the first time in her life things
made sense. Jennifer exposes the constant struggle between carefully crafted persona and
authentic existence editing the autism script with wit candor passion and power. Her
journey is one of reverse-self-discovery not only as an Aspie but--more importantly--as a
thoroughly modern woman. Beyond being a memoir Autism in Heels is a love letter to all women.
It's a conversation starter. A game changer. And a firsthand account of what it is to walk in
Jennifer's shoes (especially those iconic red stilettos). Whether it's bad perms or body image
sexuality or self-esteem Jennifer's is as much a human journey as one on the spectrum. Because
autism looks a bit different in pink most girls and women who fit the profile are not
identified facing years of avoidable anxiety eating disorders volatile relationships
self-harm and stunted independence. Jennifer has been there too. Autism in Heels takes that
message to the mainstream. From her own struggles and self-discovery she has built an empire
of empowerment inspiring women the world over to realize they aren't mistakes. They are
misunderstood miracles.
