Bliss Road

<p>Martha Engber lives a charmed life in the suburbs with a husband and two kids where everything is fine fine fine until suddenly she's... completely broken. She's so used to lying to others and herself that she has no idea who she really is or how she feels about anything. What happened? Why is her life smooth driving one minute and totaled the next?</p><p>In this sometimes funny often devastating memoir Martha describes the arduous journey toward discovering the invisible roadblock that ran her life off course: her psychological distress is the result of being the neurotypical daughter of a dad with undiagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorder a condition that affects over 75 million people worldwide.</p><p>Martha uses personal anecdotes and research about the emergence of ASD as a diagnosis to explain the psychological emotional and social challenges she faced as a child then as an adult and parent. Along the way she shows the sometimes harrowing but eminently rewarding route others can follow to chase down the source of their family angst and so reach a more blissful future.</p>
