The book taught me a lot about autistic experiences, even though I consider myself to be well-informed on the topic. With this in mind, I'd recommend it for anyone no matter your level of autism knowledge. The author validated so many elements of my autistic experiences, even those that I have not seen widely discussed (such as substance abuse disorders and eating disorders within autistic communities).
I also appreciate the author's focus on both individual solutions and systemic ones. We can't change an ableist society on our own, but there are ways for us to thrive as autistic individuals in society.
Just a phenomenal read all around!

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 worldbuttermellow's review against another edition
