This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
A life dismantled, a self reclaimed.
In this raw and unflinching collection of essays, an anonymous author lays bare a life unravelled by burnout, undiagnosed autism, and the relentless pressure to perform in a world that never quite fit.
From the collapse of a creative career to a solitary trek across the French Alps, these piercing reflections trace the journey from breakdown to breakthrough. With unwavering honesty, the author dismantles the myths of `functioning', confronts the weight of self-censorship, and finds liberation in embracing a neurodivergent identity.
Through vivid encounters with wildlife, candid accounts of mental health, and a hard-won lens of self-acceptance, A Comprehensive Breakdown speaks to anyone who has ever felt out of step with time, society, or themselves. This is not a guide to reinvention, but a testament to the messy, deeply human process of becoming yourself.
"An open, honest and deeply moving book about living with undiagnosed autism and the journey toward self-acceptance. Beautifully written and hopeful, a book to read, share, and discuss."
