Book/experiences from late diagnosed autistic women

Hi - I have a child who we're pretty sure is autistic (waiting for assessment) and I see a lot of me in them.

I've done a few online tests which would support the idea that I have autism, but as I've done reasonably well in life without it having a major impact (externally I mean - good job, house, family etc, internally I'm a bit more complicated, full of anxiety etc etc).

Are there any books out there by women sharing their experiences of being diagnosed later in life, but have managed to mask to get by for years? I've read Spectrum Women but there was a lot I couldn't relate to and wondering if there was anything else out there.

Thanks
