All Labels Aside is about one woman's journey into discovering she has autism. It follows the quirks and challenges of her life, her diagnosis, and shares the ways she has found to cope and love herself deeper than she ever thought possible. In this memoir, she is able to relate her incredible struggle to come to terms with balancing the label of autism and deep, profound, spiritual truths at the same time.Have you ever questioned your own life or the perspective of a loved one who may have autism? Have you struggled with the ups and downs of finding your authentic self amidst a world of strange social constructs we are expected to follow? This book is not only relatable to that struggle, but helpful in the fact that it does provide encouragement of what works for some of the symptoms of autism. The author wrote this book with a spiritual twist, not because she wanted to make her life public; but because there was an inner calling by the book itself to be written and shared with the world. This work of inspiration is her first book. She received her diagnosis relatively late in life, at age 36, after wondering for years what was wrong with herself socially. After researching social disorders and reading many blogs of others with an autism diagnosis, learned the striking differences between male and female characteristics of this neurological condition, a light went on and, after a year of mulling it over, got her own diagnosis, confirming what she already knew to be true. As the book called to be brought forth, the reason seemed that there was not much for autism in the way of spiritual guidance and integration of the condition. She read many autobiographies of others with the autism diagnosis, and while they were fascinating, they did not provide a deeper call to spiritual authenticity. This book also describes the author discovering what did and did not serve her soul, mind, and body, as she learned how to create an environment for herself that was soothing instead of jarring, minimizing over-stimulation and leading to a much better quality of life for her and those who know her. As soon as she knew the truth about how her brain was wired, the rest of her life suddenly made sense; school, friends, romantic relationships (not all of which were pleasant), the work force, and the seemingly endless issues or misunderstandings she found in each of these areas were no longer shocking and surprising to her. This book covers each topic of social interaction from the author's unique perspective. A wonderful contribution to the world of autism autobiographies, this book is simply another perspective to be understood by those who wish to take yet another glance into the inner world of autism, which is completely different for each individual who experiences it.
