I’m Autistic, Bich!: The fight to be your authentic self in a world that demands your silence and conformity

I'm Autistic, Bich! is not your typical autism memoir—it's a raw, unapologetic survival guide for anyone who's done pretending to be okay. Ryan Perez takes readers on a gripping journey through his life as a Black autistic man navigating childhood trauma, systemic racism, and a late autism diagnosis. This groundbreaking book exposes what it truly means to survive and thrive as a neurodivergent person in a world that demands you hide who you are.

With searing honesty, Ryan shares personal stories of masking, family dynamics, and community rejection, while also offering hard-earned tools for healing and self-acceptance. From intergenerational trauma to "Defiant Joy," readers are invited to walk alongside Ryan as he learns to break free from the roles society forced upon him.

But this is more than a memoir—it's a call to action. I'm Autistic, Bich! speaks directly to Black and neurodivergent communities, challenging the erasure of Black autistic voices and advocating for radical self-love and mutual aid. As you turn the pages, you'll sense that something deeper is coming—an invitation to rewrite the narrative for yourself and others.

Whether you're late diagnosed, self-diagnosed, "autistic pending a diagnosis," or seeking to understand a loved one, this book will resonate deeply, leaving you empowered to embrace every part of who you are. If you’ve ever asked yourself, "What now?"—Ryan’s story has an answer.

Perfect for fans of Unmasking Autism, Loud Hands, and The Reason I Jump, I'm Autistic, Bich! is a must-read for anyone on the journey from survival to authenticity.
