Book – Autism After Forty

Written in English

COMING SOON

We, Monika and I, are co-authoring a book that has grown into something very close to both our hearts.

Autism After Forty is a deeply moving conversation between Monika and her therapist — an intimate dialogue that uncovers the hidden layers of a life lived behind the mask of autism, a late diagnosis, and the search for self-understanding.
Through this exchange, Monika reflects on her journey: the weight of camouflaging, the shock of a house fire that changed everything, and the discovery of a life that finally makes sense.

This is not just a story — it’s a mirror for anyone who has ever questioned their place in the world, and an invitation to walk the path of understanding and acceptance together.

Honest. Emotional. Liberating.
Stay tuned — details soon. This is one book you won’t want to miss.
