Seeking an autism diagnosis as an adult is extremely difficult. Most people who don’t realize they are autistic before adulthood have low support needs, and have been masking all their life. It makes it incredibly hard then to figure out which parts of you are the mask and which are your true self. Despite the numerous green sticky notes I used when relating to autistic traits mentioned, I gaslighted myself throughout the whole thing, figuring that since I didn’t have it “that bad”, I must be appropriating an identity that wasn’t mine.
This book was illuminating on some points, but should definitely be used as part of a larger research if you think you are on the spectrum. It did include BIPOC and queer perspectives as well as those from people with other disabilities, something that not enough books and research do.

This book is absolutely brilliant - I've never felt more informed and empowered by this subject. Price weaves the diverse experience of all kinds of Autistics, including those who are routinely marginalized (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Women, etc.), with research and personal experience to illustrate Autism authentically. It features many self-reflection tools to explore yourself as you go. I ate this up in two days!
Like Price said, this is a tool for neurotypicals and neurodivergent readers alike. Highly recommend to friends and peers interested or questioning their (beautiful) sensitive nature.
With I could give it a higher rating!
