Q cuqui, para ser de niños los personajes son bastante complejos y cometen errores. Me gusta como intenta explicar las razones que llevan a los antagonistas a actuar como lo hacen, los trata con empatia sin llegar a excusarlos. Da la sensación que la autora reescribe su infancia para curarla, que ha sido capaz de reflexionar sobre ella y reescribirla tratando con mucho cariño a todos los personajes, para que el resto podamos aprender de ellos. Está guay ver el mundo como la prota autista.

It is so relatable to read Addies thoughts. It's beautiful and need for people to understand. As a neurodivergent person it's scary to see others have the same experience with adults not understanding.

Felt very realistic to me, I recognized myself in so many aspects of both Addie and Keedie.
I really like that forced institutionalization of autistic people is briefly discussed, because it's an important topic that doesn't get a lot of attention.
I loved seeing multiple autistic characters in one story, especially within the same family, which added to it feeling more realistic.
I also love that the story discusses autistic burnout and talks about the debilitating effects it can have.
