Book 📖: 5/5 stars
Audiobook 🎙️: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Three takeaways:
• extremely educational on autism within women
• unflinchingly honest about her past and present
• the audiobook is good, just don't speed run it
Here is a book I'll carry with me for all time. The brutally honest insight on autism within women under the scrutiny of very traditional views was relatable to say the least. And powerfully enlightened to say at best. I felt both seen, heard and educated on the bouts and hardships Fern faced. Sometimes recognizing thoughts or experiences I had growing up that I've never connected before. While also feeling how profoundly debilitating and lonely it must be to have autistic traits as a woman and being misunderstood/struggle to cope you're whole life.
I think anyone and everyone should read this book. Esp if you identify as female or female presenting and experience neurodiversity and autistic traits. You will be armed with camaraderie as well as a POV to help and communicate with those on the spectrum. I now feel more equipped to help myself and others while also feeling inspired to pursue more knowledge on women and autism.
