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.

Dr Price is very direct in the points he makes and uses interviews with other autistic people and studies that have been conductied to show how individualistic the disability can be, as well as how many parts of the disability overlap a wider group of people. The exercises are informative and, for me, eye-opening on how autism looks like in day-to-day lives. I'm very glad I found this book.
The only criticism I have is that I did have to pause multiple times as I read through the book due to things clicking into place from my past being down to undiagnosed autism, however I fully understand that is my experience reading the book with my life experience so is not a guarantee for everyone reading the book.
Thank you Dr Price for writing this book and being able to show me that autism isn't just a disability but far more than a label.

The content warnings are more things discussed around the topic of autism and can be signs of trauma from being undiagnosed autistic and a neurotypical worldstacy837's review
