"A brilliant book by one of the most outspoken, insightful, and individual writers in the autism community." --- Gavin Bollard, author of Life with Aspergers
Blazing My Trail, Rachel Cohen-Rottenberg's new autobiographical work, is the sequel to The Uncharted Path, her memoir about her childhood on the autism spectrum and her life after diagnosis as an adult.
In Blazing My Trail, Rachel chronicles the many ways her life has changed since the publication of her memoir. Her new book describes her process of creatively adapting to life with a disability, advocating for full inclusion, and reclaiming her independence, her power, and her engagement with the world.
Blazing My Trail is available in paperback and as an e-book from Amazon.com. You can also purchase Blazing My Trail as an e-book from eBookIt! and the Barnes and Noble online store.

Great interview!
Thank you, John! It was a lot of fun.
I loved the interview and I commented there!
So glad you did!
On my way over!
Always great to hear from you, Casdok!
Great interview Rachel. Lots to think about. I’m glad you mentioned the Sonic Defenders. I didn’t know such a thing existed. My foam earplugs seem to block the conversation as well as the ambient noise or “interference.” It would be nice to be able to hear a person talking to me in a restaurant and not have the stress of trying to sort what they say from all the other conversations.
Hi Bruce,
I haven’t tried out the Sonic Defenders in a restaurant; I’m not sure how well they’d work with a lot of surrounding conversation. They seem to work best with blocking nonverbal sound, and with conversation that’s not too close to me.
Thanks for your comments here and on Robert’s blog!
