Proud to Be Me: Growing Up My Autistic Way

Some autistic young people spend years trying to understand why they feel different.

Why the world feels too intense.

Why social situations are confusing.

Why it takes so much effort just to appear “normal.”

And the hardest question of all:

why no one ever explains these experiences in a way that truly makes sense.

This book was created to change that.

Proud to Be Me: Growing Up My Autistic Way is a deep yet accessible emotional guide designed to help autistic young people finally understand what is happening inside their own experiences.

This is not a clinical manual.

This is not a technical textbook.

It is a clear, supportive translation of the autistic experience—written to create real understanding.

Through the engaging story of Milo, a young autistic boy learning to understand his own mind, readers discover that many of the challenges they have faced were never personal failures—they were neurological differences that had simply never been explained.

Throughout the e-book, young readers will learn:

• Why sounds, lights, and environments can feel overwhelming

• What really happens during sensory overload

• Why masking can lead to deep emotional exhaustion

• How emotions work in the autistic brain

• Why friendships can feel complex—and how to understand them better

• What autistic burnout is and how to recognise its signs

• How to transform differences into self-awareness and emotional confidence

Each chapter is designed to answer silent questions that many autistic young people carry for years.

Because when a young person understands how their mind works, something powerful happens:

Confusion begins to fade.

Self-blame starts to disappear.

Identity begins to grow stronger.

This e-book is also a valuable resource for:

• Parents who want to better understand their child’s inner world

• Teachers who support autistic students

• Professionals working with neurodivergent development

• Families seeking clear and compassionate guidance

More than explaining autism, this book helps autistic young people understand something truly life-changing:

They are not broken.

They are discovering who they are.

If you want to offer an autistic young person the understanding they may have never received—this book can be the beginning of that transformation.

This e-book is especially helpful for young people who:

• Feel they need to hide who they are to fit in

• Experience overwhelm but don’t understand why

• Find it difficult to explain what they feel

• Want to better understand themselves and their emotions

With accessible language and up-to-date scientific understanding, Proud to Be Me: Growing Up My Autistic Waytransforms confusing experiences into clear understanding—something that can positively impact emotional development and self-esteem for a lifetime.
