Most people think autism looks a certain way.Quiet. Detached. Obvious.But what if it looks like the girl who always smiled in class—The overachiever who never asked for help—The woman who could hold eye contact while silently unraveling?Not Broken, Uniquely Special is a poetic, piercing, and powerful memoir of one woman’s journey to unmasking her autism—and reclaiming her truth.Told through cinematic storytelling, raw personal reflections, and gentle direct messages to the reader, Raven H.M. Blackmore invites you into the hidden world of high-functioning autism and the lifelong impact of unrecognized trauma.This book is not a diagnosis.
It’s a homecoming.A survival manual.A mirror for every misunderstood soul.If you’ve ever felt too much, too strange, or too alone—this is your permission to stop performing and start becoming.
A small glimpse into the moments, memories, and pieces of life that shaped my story.
Every photo reflects a chapter of becoming — not broken, but uniquely special.
