Sarah Kurchak is autistic. She hasn’t let that get in the way of pursuing her dream to become a writer, or to find love, but she has let it get in the way of being in the same room with someone chewing food loudly and of cleaning her bathroom sink. In I Overcame My Autism and All I Got Was This Lousy Anxiety Disorder, Kurchak examines the Byzantine steps she took to become “an autistic success story”, how the process almost ruined her life, and how she is now trying to recover.
Growing up undiagnosed in small-town Ontario in the ’80s and ’90s, Kurchak realized early that she was somehow different from her peers. She discovered an effective strategy to fend off bullying: She consciously altered nearly everything about herself - from her personality to her body language. She forced herself to wear the denim jeans that felt like being enclosed in a sandpaper iron maiden. Every day, she dragged herself through the door with an elevated pulse and a churning stomach, nearly crumbling under the effort of the performance. By the time she was finally diagnosed with autism at 27, she struggled with depression and anxiety largely caused by the same strategy she had mastered precisely. She came to wonder, were all those years of intensely pretending to be someone else really worth it?
Tackling everything from autism parenting culture to love, sex, alcohol, obsessions, and professional pillow fighting, Kurchak’s enlightening memoir challenges stereotypes and preconceptions about autism and considers what might really make the lives of autistic people healthier, happier, and more fulfilling.

Thanks for the book on autism by someone with autism.
Most of us try what the author tried. This is why I now have a heart condition in addition to autism and the other mental health problems that autism ships with at no extra charge. The human body is not designed to handle perpetual stress and masking to hold down a job or to maintain social relationships with NTs is perpetual stress. I managed it for 15 years straight and then I couldn’t get out of bed one day without passing out. Fun times.

@erouting, uhhh debatable if “designed” is the right word for it, but in a state of nature, life is ugly, brutish, and short—i.e. perpetual stress. used to be the ones who couldn’t handle it didn’t propagate (as much). Mayabe that’s part’s “designed”? idk, just spitballing…

Thank you notsure900 for the upload (for making me aware this book existed). For non-fiction I am better with ebooks rather than audio, so I BOUGHT(yep) the eBook. I couldn’t have done it without you (and the author of course).

Sigh, if I’d looked more carefully at the file list I would have seen that the ePub version is included. Oh well, still money well spent.
