funny informative slow-paced

This memoir gives us a look into Fern’s life through the lens of late diagnosed autism. She showed how some of her early life struggles were shaped by neurodivergence and how it affects her life. 

It’s an important addition to the sparse literature focused on autistic females.

I devoured this book! I had so many parallels with Fern, and have written down a few quotes which really stood out to me (too personal to share here). I’m too shell-shocked to write a decent review. Beautiful writing.
