Autism, Asperger's & Abuse: Your Steps to Being Set Free

By Catherine Alexandria

Autism, Asperger's & Abuse: Your Steps to Being Set Free by Catherine Alexandria (a pen name chosen for safety and privacy) Most autism books are either long-winded and clinical--or deeply personal but light on solutions. This isn't either. This is a survival guide . Written specifically for autistic women in emotionally unsafe relationships, this short, practical, and validating book cuts through the noise of pop psychology to give you tools--not just talk. If you've spent years feeling like an emotional punching bag... If you've been called too intense, too sensitive, or too cold... If you've stayed in relationships where love felt like walking on eggshells... This book is for you. You'll discover: Why autistic masking, people-pleasing, and loyalty make you a target--and how to stop How abusers use "love bombing," guilt-tripping, and gaslighting--and why it works on logical minds The truth about emotional consent, freeze responses, and why your trauma doesn't lie Scripts, de-escalation tools, and sensory-aware strategies to protect your peace and reset your nervous system Red flags you've been trained to overlook--and what safe love actually looks like Reframing your autistic traits as strengths--not flaws No fluff. No 300-page theory spiral. No personal drawn-out story. Just clarity, compassion, and hard-won wisdom for the woman who's exhausted from trying to find a way to be set free.
