BETWEEN INVISIBLE LINES: A novel about belonging, identity, and the courage to exist
BETWEEN INVISIBLE LINES
What if the signs were always there, but no one knew how to see them?
For years, countless autistic girls and women have moved through life unnoticed.
They learned to observe, imitate, rehearse conversations, hide discomfort, and become exceptionally good at appearing "fine."
They were called shy. Sensitive. Anxious. Difficult. Perfectionists. Dramatic. Gifted. Introverted.
But behind those labels, there was often a story no one had recognized.
Between Invisible Lines looks beyond the stereotypes surrounding autism to reveal the subtle ways it can present in girls and women.
With an accessible, compassionate, and scientifically informed perspective, the book explores frequently overlooked experiences such as masking and camouflaging, social exhaustion, sensory differences, intense interests, emotional dysregulation, difficulties with relationships, and the enormous effort required to "fit in."
It is for the girl who always felt different but never understood why.
For the woman who wondered why things that seemed effortless for others required so much energy from her.
For mothers who recognize their daughters in these pages.
And for families, educators, and professionals who want to truly see the girls who have been hiding in plain sight.
Sometimes, understanding autism is not about discovering something new.
It is about finally finding the name for a story that has been there all along.
If you recognize yourself, your daughter, or someone you love between these lines, this book may help you see what was invisible for far too long.
Because being overlooked does not mean the signs were never there.
