inner riches - an autistic woman's story of love & motherloss by Michelle Dorothy Riksman is a heartwarming memoir about an extraordinary bond between a mother and daughter. It will move you to tears in one moment and surprise you with amusement in the next. When Michelle suffers the traumatic, sudden loss of her mother, she is inconsolable. Grief on the Autism Spectrum is not often discussed. Contrary to many myths, this book demonstrates how autistic people deeply feel. It mines the depth of human emotion and is like no other book about grief. Experience Michelle's transformation following her late diagnosis of autism and gain deeper insight into the emotional lives of autistic women. At the same time, discover unique strategies for healing after loss. If you are grieving, neurodivergent or not, this book will give you comfort, hope, even inspiration, as it shows us that death is not the termination of all possible connection between us and those we love so dearly.

"Michelle teaches us that we must plumb the depths of grief to find the love that heals us."

Dr. S Anderson PhD
