hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

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.
