Summary
Details

What does it mean to live at the intersection of autism, physical disability, trauma, and resilience?

In Autism and Physical Disability, Wenn B. Lawson shares a deeply personal account of late-diagnosed autism shaped by decades of misdiagnosis, physical and emotional pain, and a lifetime of mistrust born from trauma. Animals, birds, and the natural world become sources of solace, offering a pathway back to meaning and connection.

This narrative blends lived experience with research, opening a rare window into the life of an older, trans, disabled autistic person who chose self-acceptance, love, and hope over despair. It challenges readers to confront the overlooked struggles of autistic people while providing a roadmap of resilience, healing, and reconciliation.
