<p><b>“As more women are recognizing their own neurodivergence, Julie has gifted us with a beautifully written and incredibly relatable memoir. Readers will come away feeling seen, understood, and never again alone.” — Emily W. King, PhD, child psychologist and author of the <i>Learn with Dr. Emily</i> Substack</b></p>

<p><b>A funny, unflinchingly honest, and deeply compassionate memoir about one woman’s experience of raising an autistic child while discovering she is also “on the spectrum”</b></p>

<p>Almost 10 years after learning that her son is autistic, Julie Green was also diagnosed, shedding light on a lifetime of feeling othered and misunderstood. <i>Motherness</i> traces Julie’s journey from childhood to early motherhood, when she must advocate for her son while navigating her own struggles.</p>

<p>With more girls and women being diagnosed in the last decade — many of them later in life — the face of autism is changing. <i>Motherness</i> provides a rich, intensely personal account of what it is like to be autistic, through the lens of both a mother and child. Topics include sensory processing, meltdowns and shutdowns, masking, empathy, alexithymia, bullying, elopement, special interests, disordered eating, gender diversity, twice exceptionality, and more.</p>

<p><i>Motherness</i> is a story about accepting your child while learning to accept yourself. This extraordinary, groundbreaking memoir speaks to the great challenges and great joys of autism, providing valuable insights to parents of autistic children, adults newly diagnosed or questioning their place on the spectrum, and anyone seeking a greater understanding of neurodiversity.</p>
