This is going to be my new personal recommendation for people looking for nonfiction books on autism!
I had some expectations, I’m not going to lie; I did pick this up because of all the praise, so I was expecting something good. I’ll be honest, though, I wasn’t expecting something this good! I have this problem with nonfiction, that I usually can’t get into it after some pages — I tend to get bored of it. It did not happen with this one! There was no filler and although some information overlapped, it never felt unnecessary.

Basically, this is a great book: easy to understand writing, an inclusive approach and a fantastic topic to explore.

The book taught me a lot about autistic experiences, even though I consider myself to be well-informed on the topic. With this in mind, I'd recommend it for anyone no matter your level of autism knowledge. The author validated so many elements of my autistic experiences, even those that I have not seen widely discussed (such as substance abuse disorders and eating disorders within autistic communities).
I also appreciate the author's focus on both individual solutions and systemic ones. We can't change an ableist society on our own, but there are ways for us to thrive as autistic individuals in society.
Just a phenomenal read all around!
