Is This Autism?

They’re bright. Insightful. Highly sensitive. Often perfectionists. And yet—something feels... different.

In Is This Autism?, clinical psychologist Donna Henderson sheds powerful light on the often-misunderstood world of autism—especially in individuals who have flown under the radar for years. And here’s the twist: many of them are women, girls, and gender-diverse people who don’t “look autistic” in the ways the world expects.

One stat that hits hard:
Most autistic females aren’t diagnosed until adulthood—if ever.

This book changes that. Gently but firmly.

Henderson combines science, case studies, and years of clinical expertise to help readers understand what autism really looks like—beyond the outdated stereotypes. The tone is compassionate, accessible, and deeply validating. Whether you're a parent, partner, teacher, or the person wondering about yourself, you’ll walk away with real clarity.

Here’s what’s inside:

Clear differences between classic diagnostic criteria and real-life presentations

Common signs of autism in high-functioning or “masked” individuals

How camouflaging and social adaptation can hide autistic traits

Tools for self-reflection and navigating the diagnostic process

Guidance for moving forward—with or without a label

This book isn’t just informative—it’s transformative. It offers relief, recognition, and a roadmap.
