emotional informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

It’s weird to rate someone’s personal story and judge that it is or isn’t good.  I appreciated the honesty and transparency that Fern Brady offers in this book, and it’s helpful to understand both her and other autistic women in my life.  My experience reading it was 4 stars, but that’s not to say that it couldn’t be much more valuable to someone else.
