A Grotesque Animal - Amy Lee Lillard - Bog

"At the age of forty-three, Amy Lee Lillard learned she was autistic. She learned she was part of a community of unseen women who fell through the gaps due to medical bias and social stereotypes. And she learned that her brash and trashy family of women may have broken under the weight of invisible disability. A Grotesque Animal explores the making, unmaking, and making again of a woman with invisible and unknown disability-through a combination of personal storytelling and cultural analysis, through wide-ranging styles and mixed media. A battle cry that dissects anger, sexuality, autistic masking, bodies, punk, and female annihilation to create a new picture of modern women"--
