Through socialising exclusively with people too drunk to remember it later, to pretending to be dead to avoid answering the door. Charlotte spent years researching the neuroscience behind her autistic traits, and wishes to give an enlightening explanation to anyone who has ever felt isolated, including bewildered family members.

A book written from the heart about the brain. Through socialising exclusively with people too drunk to remember it later, to pretending to be dead to avoid answering the door, Too High to Function documents what life can be like living on the autism spectrum. Charlotte opens her heart up to the vulnerability she has experienced whilst living on the autism spectrum. Having spent years researching the neuroscience behind her autistic traits, she wanted to impart her wisdom to others, helping to give an enlightening explanation to anyone who has ever felt isolated, including bewildered parents and family members. This raw, heart-breaking yet hilarious account will become your weapon of self-construction, autistic or not, taking you on a journey of self-acceptance, whilst celebrating the power of the mind, and all the weird and wonderful things about it. 'The good, the bad, and the socially ugly! - this is the book I wish I'd read at 14.' A note about reader accessibility: it is extremely important to Charlotte that Too High to Function is accessible for all her readers. With this in mind, she has chosen a larger font and there are regular breaks within each chapter.
