Late Bloomer: How an Autism Diagnosis Changed My Life by Clem Bastow

madeleinekl's review

5.0

So funny and charming, as well as extremely interesting and important - i learned a lot about autism in general and some individual experiences of being autistic. I loved all the great pop cultural references and nerdy fun Clem Bastow always provides.

Her story feels so familiar. All the cultural touchstones of Melbourne in the 80s.
