This book is a good primer for Autistic rights and history written from the perspective of an Austistic man. It brings up a lot of topics such as the disputes between self-advocates v. caregivers, race, gender, and the lingering misconceptions about what autistic people can and can't do. None of the chapters go particularly in depth, but it's a good summary of each topic and a good jumping off point for those who are looking to learn more about the rights and issues for this community.

Didn’t learn much, decent job explaining - people with autism are people too, intersectionalism is important, without systemic changes people suffer

These types of reads should be required reading. They would help to remove the stigma that they are openly talking about because they would be raising awareness I’m all the right ways through comparison and a variety of voices. It’s well written and relatable because of the concerns that Autistic people face with a spectrum that most people don’t understand or want to acknowledge

Wide-ranging, interesting, informative, and well-researched content on autism, autism policy and research, and life as an autistic person. Could have used a more thorough proofread
