Grief on the Autism Spectrum
AUTISTIC WOMEN EVERYWHERE
Sharing Our Lived Experience of Autism Worldwide
Grieving a Mother
Autistic people grieve differently. Many on the autism spectrum feel so profoundly that they are overwhelmed by their emotions and cannot function through them. Autism can be like an invisible landmine. If someone doesn't know they are autistic, the landmine can be unwittingly detonated, regardless of their functioning. Circumstances can change, and when they do, one may need more support than imagined. Michelle Dorothy Riksman's inner riches chronicles her emotional upheaval after her mother's death. Discover how an autistic woman navigates her path to inner peace, reviving her motivation, excitement, and love of life after loss.
inner riches - an autistic woman's story of love & motherloss by Michelle Dorothy Riksman is available now on Amazon
"If ever 'proof' was needed of how intensely autistic women can experience emotion - this is it."
V. Hughes - Amazon Customer
"Inner Riches is a deeply personal, raw, and emotionally charged retelling of the author’s grief-stricken journey after suffering an insurmountable loss. Through touching memories and detailed stories, Inner Riches not only offers a glimpse into a truly unique relationship between a mother and her daughter, but reminds us all that ‘letting go’ does not equate to ‘leaving behind’. This volume is a powerful read for anyone who has experienced significant loss, and an inspiring message for those whose experience of grief is yet to come."
