Samenvatting

The story of Anna Jones takes you from her childhood to the adult woman she is today. Through years of adapting, camouflaging, and imitating to navigate her way from a young girl to eventually a (single) woman, mother, lover, and employee, trying to hold her ground as effectively and successfully as possible in an overwhelming society, she repeatedly experiences health issues. Burn-outs and depressions follow one another rapidly. She starts having epileptic seizures, but is the diagnosis of epilepsy accurate? Once Upon A Broken Wing is a relatable and well-written book that touches on a wide range of topics (relationships, motherhood, trauma, EMDR, and a late autism diagnosis) and the diversity of experiences in the healthcare system.

Over de auteur

Marije Pietersma (1979) wrote Once Upon A Broken Wing with the aim of supporting people in their search for and providing recognition in relation to a late autism diagnosis. The story is inspired by her own life experiences, where she describes the typical behaviours (masking, avoiding and going against the current of emotions) of women with autism. All these topics have made this book a journey of self-discovery and authenticity for the main character.
