An anthology of personal essays by autistic Irish adults, highlighting diverse lived experiences and the importance of autism identification.Wired Our Own Way is the first anthology of personal essays written by autistic Irish adults.2025 figures show that one in twenty Irish schoolchildren are now identified as autistic, and society’s understanding of neurodiversity is evolving rapidly. As awareness grows, many adults are also discovering this aspect of themselves, finding greater clarity and self-compassion in the process.This bestselling anthology explores the profound impact of receiving a diagnosis and highlights the wide range of experiences within the neurodivergent community in Ireland. Through deeply personal and insightful essays, the contributors reveal the many ways this identity shapes their lives – proving there is no single way of being autistic.From meltdowns to mental health, from early diagnoses to late-in-life revelations, and from cultural stereotypes to workplace challenges, this collection offers a rich, multifaceted perspective on life beyond the neurotypical lens. A celebration of individuality, resilience, and self-discovery, it shines a light on voices that deserve to be heard.Contributors include: Jen WallaceLiam CoulsonNuala O’ConnorJane CadmanEric Robert CrowleyJames McCleanRoisin RileyFiacre RyanJustin BakkerNaoise DolanColm BradyFreya von Noorden PierceJennifer PoyntzStefanie PreissnerChandrika Narayanan-MohanEmil Eliot OsinskiStuart NeilsonCaoimhe O’GormanAdam HarrisPriyangee GuhaMike McGrath-BryanAisling WalshCliona Kelliher
