Autism Learnings: How I have learned to enjoy autistic life

by Rosie Weldon

Autism Learnings is a philosophical and reflective approach to autism. It’s not a how-to guide—it’s a deeply personal exploration of what it feels like to live as an autistic person, how autism shapes identity, and how to find meaning, balance, and self-acceptance in a neurotypical world.

Rosie explores ideas

Where autism ends and "Rosie" begin

The morality of self-improvement

The role of environment in disability

Whether she can separate love, independence, and care

How to define her worth outside of societal expectations

Rosie is a finance analyst living in her own flat, but she is so far from independent. Things look a little different in her world, this book explores that.
