Laura Donovan’s Momtistic is a vulnerable, candid, beautifully written memoir that will have readers turning the pages. With great care and humor, this important book fills the gaps for women whose brains have been ignored for far too long.

—Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author of Group: How One Therapist and a Circle of Strangers Saved My Life

Momtistic is a layered, validating book for the many women discovering their neurodiversity later in life, oftentimes through their own children. Anyone who picks up this memoir will be imbued with a newfound respect for neurodiverse families and the women almost always holding them together.

—Jessica Zucker, PhD, psychologist and award-winning author of Normalize It and I Had a Miscarriage

Laura Donovan’s vivid scenes place readers inside daily life with her sons: the small negotiations, shared obsessions, and humor that carry the story. While autism shapes Momtistic, its heart is the fierce but ordinary love of family—and the work of seeing your children and yourself clearly.

—Sarah Gormley, author of The Order of Things: A Memoir About Chasing Joy
