Loved: the in-depth look into another autistic person’s mind, especially looking into how that person’s special interest is the lens by which they comprehend the world. In a way, it was so relatable.
Didn’t love: the technical jargon, sort of? Like, the combination of the jargon and accented narration made it hard for me to one hundred percent focus and engage. Even then, I don’t fully dislike that, because it truly felt like another autistic person infodumping to me about a subject I’m not fully equipped to understand and me going hell yeah.

Enjoyed the unique premise, the book is certainly more about the author's experience with autism/adhd and her perspectives explained through science. But must admit, the idea would have worked better as one essay rather than a whole book.
