Jag gillade boken. Den är viktig och interessant. Men jag tyckte att vissa kapitel i boken var mer intressanta än andra. Jag tror att jag gillade Claras historia mest.

Social and cultural differences affect how people with disabilities are treated in society. The Autists is written from a Swedish perspective, which provides interesting contrast to American book about autism. The Autists is a book full of fascinating detail and personal narrative. The author is equally at home describing medical research and her own late-night musings. Very useful for anyone trying to understand more about autistic women.

I found many of my experiences as a woman who is autistic to be mirrored in this book. I also really enjoyed the exploration of authors and characters who likely were autistic even if they were around during periods where the term did not exist yet or times when the false belief that autism only impacted boys was prevalent. This book was a nice blend of personal account, historical context, and literary exploration. I have 25-30 post its marking parts I want to go back to and think about more deeply.
