I recently had the opportunity to interview Jen Kirkman about her memoir. Here's what she had to say:

Q: What inspired you to write your memoir?

A: I wanted to write a book that would help people understand what it's like to live with autism. I wanted to share my experiences with dating, relationships, work, and family, and offer a unique perspective on the challenges and joys of life on the spectrum.

Q: What do you hope readers will take away from your book?

A: I hope readers will come away from my book with a better understanding of autism. I hope they will see that autism is not a disability, but a different way of being. I also hope they will be inspired by my story to live their own lives to the fullest.

Q: What's the most important lesson you've learned from your journey with autism?

A: The most important lesson I've learned is that it's okay to be different. I used to be ashamed of my autism, but now I embrace it. It's a part of who I am, and it makes me who I am.
