Summary of Jennifer Cook O'Toole's Autism in Heels

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I had thought I was the link between my children’s Asperger’s and their diagnoses, but it was actually my husband who had the condition. It didn’t matter anyway, because I wasn’t a total failure at being human.

#2 The last year had been difficult for me. My best friend had been diagnosed with aggressive, stage IV breast cancer. My daughter had been a Make-A-Wish kid after seven years in and out of hospitals. And my two eldest children had been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome.

#3 I began to realize that my father, who had died a few years before, had been my children’s genetic twin. He was a brilliant, beloved man, but he was also awkward and anxious in social settings. I never doubted that he loved me and my mother, but I wondered why I wasn’t enough to keep his interest.

#4 I was looking for a mirror image of myself, but I couldn’t find anyone who matched my way of moving through the world. I was constantly on hypervigilant meltdown prevention duty with my kids.
