Work in Progress & Other Poems explores the challenges of growing up as an undiagnosed autistic girl in the 1980s and early 1990s. This collection of 31 poems takes readers on a deeply personal journey through childhood, examining how undiagnosed autism shaped the author's mental health and sense of self.

Through a mix of poetry and reflective commentary, Kat Welch delves into themes of social struggles, bullying, masking, anxiety, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and mental health. She also offers moments of humour and joy, balancing the heavier aspects of the narrative. An introduction provides context for the poems, and an afterword reflects on her later autism diagnosis and how it reshaped her understanding of the past.

Kat Welch's second book follows 6 Months in Hell & Other Poems, her first collection about recovering from acute psychosis in 2015.

Work in Progress is for anyone who grew up feeling different without knowing why. It may also provide insight to those considering an autism diagnosis.
