Summary
"Growing up Sara Gibbs was labelled a lot of things-- a cry baby, a scaredy cat, a spoiled brat, a weirdo, a show off-- but more often than not, it was 'drama queen'. No one understood her behaviour-- her meltdowns and her intense emotions-- while Sara herself had no idea why she felt as if life was a party she hadn't been invited to. Then, at the age of thirty, she would be given one more label that would change her life's trajectory forever. Sitting next to her husband in a clinical psychologist's office, she would learn that she had never been a drama queen, or a weirdo, or a cry baby, but she had always been autistic. Drama queen is both a tour inside one autistic brain and a declaration that a diagnosis on the spectrum, with the right support, accommodations and understanding, doesn't have to be a barrier to life full of love, laughter and success. It is the story of one woman trying to fit into a world that has often tried to reject her and, most importantly, it's about a life of labels, and the joy of ripping them off" -- Book jacket.
