5.0

Brilliant memoir from one of my favourite comics. I love how honest and real Fern is about their life and how even now they are still working through their autistic journey of acceptance. This is a great book for anyone but particularly AFAB autistics or those who suspect they may be autistic. It isn't a self help book, far from it, but that's what makes it amazing because it allows a lot of people to relate to the difficult things they have also experienced as Autistic people. Fern inadvertly breaks the stereotypical autistic female mould and shows how being autistic can look outside of the typical white male presenting autistic representation.
