Reflections on an Undiagnosed Autistic Childhood in the 1980s and '90s

by Christian Karen Berman
 

*Mirror of My World - Reflections on an Undiagnosed Autistic Childhood in the 1980s and 90s* book cover by Christian Karen Berman

Heartfelt and unfiltered, Mirror of My World captures what it was like to grow up in the 1980s and 90s as a bright, sensitive child who didn’t yet know she was autistic.

​

Christian Karen Berman, who was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome at 25, reflects on her early life with hindsight and tenderness. Through stories of family life, childhood illnesses, toys, foods, and fleeting moments of wonder, she paints an evocative portrait of growing up different in an era when autism was seldom discussed or understood.

​

It's also a time capsule of the late twentieth century—a reminder of the innocence of a pre-digital time and a testament to the enduring strength of family bonds.
