Sobre IBD

See the Scottish Highlands through the prism of a life experienced intensely!Starting in June 2013, a woman living in the north of Scotland set herself a challenge to write something positive about the realities of her neurodiverse life every day for a year. Katherine Highland is autistic. This selection from those daily notes, with accompanying thoughts, descriptions and memories to bring them alive to the reader, gives a unique personal insight into life as an autistic adult in this beautiful part of the world. It is not a rose-tinted idealistic viewpoint. Katherine Highland is as open about the daily struggle in a society often inaccessible to autistic people as she is about her deep love for where she lives; she shares her vulnerabilities and questionable choices alongside her achievements and challenges overcome. The overall message is of potential and positivity through communication and goodwill.
