Overview
At thirty-five, writer and media veteran Laura Donovan thought she had motherhood figured out—until her two sons were diagnosed with autism and a clinician suggested that she might be autistic too.
In this candid and darkly funny memoir, Donovan chronicles her journey from overwhelmed parent to self-aware advocate, weaving pop culture, humor, and heartbreak into a narrative that redefines what it means to be “different.” From reenacting Elf with her five-year-old to decoding preschool politics in pandemic-era Portland, she learns that the quirks she once tried to outgrow were never flaws—they were family traits.
Momtistic is a love letter to neurodiverse families everywhere and a fresh addition to the conversation about women whose neurodivergence had gone unrecognized for decades—finding a language for who you’ve always been.
