About this listen

The Umbrella Picker tells the true story of a woman who was lost for 45 years until she learned that she is Autistic. After a long and relentless journey of searching for answers, the hand of fate finally revealed to her what she had waited a lifetime for.

Learning she was Autistic was life changing. She is no longer lost, and having found her own, unique way, Jane has written the (brutally honest!) book she wished was available to her years earlier.

If you are feeling lost to yourself, this heartfelt and compelling book may answer your unanswered questions and help you to finally find yourself.

"The fact that you have been so open and honest about your life journey is so inspirational to Autistic women." —Helen Pass, another ‘Lost Girl’ found

Critic reviews

“Jane does not shy away from addressing her own mental health experiences, her fears and feelings of isolation. The listener is left feeling Jane has truly peeled away masking layers to portray her true self through her writing.” —Manar Matusiak from Living Autism, who trained me to be an Autism Champion

Despite being a male I identify with many of Jane's struggles. Like Jane, I too was diagnosed autistic in adulthood, experienced complications at school, had a number of relationships and masked for much of my life. Unlike Jane I have not the National Autistic Society very supportive. However this book is wonderful and gives a voice for many, especially females who are struggling in silence.
