4.0

pretty strong insight and at times heavy reading into autism and how it effects different people of all different types (and how society responds to the symptoms depending on gender, race, class etc.). it offers numerous examples and activities to engage with to self-reflect and improve ones life with autism, but despite its current content it could probably use more extensive detail into the most current science and research behind autism. still, as a broad overview it fulfils its purpose

5.0

A must-read for Autistics, people who suspect they may be Autistic, loved ones of Autistics, people in the mental health industry, and also literally everyone. Among other helpful information, there are great resources on how to make public spaces and events accessible to Autistics and other disabled people. There is also incredibly helpful information on the support needs, including in communication, for Autistics and those who interact with us (which is everyone).

The writing and audio are extremely accessible and understandable. Information is substantiated with studies and many interviews.

some parts of this book felt like Devon came & personally snatched my silly little secret thoughts & feelings out of my head - ohhh they got me good. must read if you’re ruminating on if you’re autistic or neurodivergent…also highly recommend if you have an autistic person in your life.
