I loved this. I believe you need to watch Nanette before reading it, but now I’m going to go and watch Nanette again with this supporting it.  I found some parts difficult to read and the timeline jumped around a little, I could have done with more markers indicating the time shift.
All up a good book that is so revealing and important for all people to read to learn more about both neurodiversity and sexuality and the impacts the ‘norms’ have on those who identify as either or both.
Thank you Hannah.

If you are a fan of Hannah Gadsby's performances, I highly recommend this in audiobook format. They lay their life bare, looking the hardest moments of their life directly in the face while still being kind to their "villains". That being said it is not something that everyone can read, it deals with a lot of the nuance of moving through trauma after rape or the systemic oppression of being a queer person before marriage was even a possibility. Please proceed with caution.

It's a story told honestly and gives context to the world around itself. I love how they contextualize Tasmania and the political climate of Australia in reference to their own journey through developing as an undiagnosed neurodivergent human. Hannah put forth the effort of acknowledging where their own privilege lies, and unapologetically says "please see the affected group for more on that". At it's heart, ten steps to Nanette is the directors cut of the Netflix special Nanette. The audiobook is definitely worth it on this one
