The Autists: Women on the Spectrum by Clara Törnvall

5.0

I found many of my experiences as a woman who is autistic to be mirrored in this book. I also really enjoyed the exploration of authors and characters who likely were autistic even if they were around during periods where the term did not exist yet or times when the false belief that autism only impacted boys was prevalent. This book was a nice blend of personal account, historical context, and literary exploration. I have 25-30 post its marking parts I want to go back to and think about more deeply.
