This is probably a fine autism memoir, but I started it directly after finishing We’re Not Broken, which I listened to after my second read of Neurotribes, and listening to a rich white British lady talk about autism in ways I have heard before was not hitting for me. I might try again, but at this time I needed more complexity. Turned this off and switched to “A Short History of Trans Misogyny” and said ahhh, this is the stuff.

This book is so beautiful. As someone with late realized autism I find it entirely relatable. The way Katherine puts her experiences into words is such a freaking gift. Her words in this book will be with me forever.
Somewhere between 2.5 and 3 stars for reasons I will get to later.

I’m a big fan of May, but this was not my favorite of hers. I enjoyed learning more and *vicariously exploring* the SWCP (after reading and falling in love with it in Raynor Winns book, the Salt Path), but there were moments that were a bit dry for me and I had to put in some effort to continue on. Overall, I liked it and particularly the last section when she begins to journey “home.”
