{"product_id":"9781510758698","title":"Autism in Heels: The Untold Story of a Female Life on the Spectrum","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAutism in Heels\u003c\/i\u003e, an intimate memoir and \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond being a memoir, \u003ci\u003eAutism in Heels\u003c\/i\u003e 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).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether 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. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAutism in Heels\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e takes that message to the mainstream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 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.","brand":"Skyhorse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47029300330736,"sku":"9781510758698","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781510758698_p0.jpg?v=1763724573","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781510758698","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
