这是一本鼓舞、正面的回忆录，让读者进入一名自闭症女孩的内心世界，希望能透过了解以及接受自闭症患者来帮助以及鼓励他们。

对于外面世界来说，Emily看起来像一个正常、平凡的女孩。但是在她的内心世界，Emily不认为自己正常，而她越长越大就越了解自己是真的不一样，直到她16岁的时候被诊断出自闭症。

这是一个非凡的故事，关于现在21岁的她这几年来的经历。她很真实、诚恳地分享她从被诊断到现在的心灵旅程。当她开始被课业或者外面世界感到压力，图书以及想象力成为她的避风港。她的强迫症近乎毁了她的生活、社会因为不了解自闭症如何害了她、连她自己家人都认为她可能走不下去。但是，她最后因为找到了她真实的自己，找到自己的人生目的。她成为一名心理健康的护士，希望能够利用自己过去的经验来帮助其他人。
