After recently finding out I am autistic this has been an invaluable resource for me to better my understanding of the hidden disability I've been living with my entire life.
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.
