informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

I felt that this would have been very well representative to me, but for the pressure about genders and sexuality.  I felt that the author looks down on people of faith and categorizes us all as “hateful” and “manipulative.”  That is an unfortunate and unfair bias.  

I agree there are problems in the legal system, but I disagree with the politics behind defunding the police.  A crime committed by an autistic person or a person of color is not LESS harmful because of their disability or their background.  I say that as an autistic person of faith with a multiracial family. 

Regardless of religious and political differences, where the topic of autism and masking came up it was informative.
