Odd Girl Out: An Autistic Woman in a Neurotypical World by Laura James

3.0

---

I was hoping to relate more to this book but my symptoms don't align much with Laura's. However, there was a lot of really good information and small similarities that voiced my inner feelings very acutely. My main complaint would be that it seemed to be too long, and in the parts where she was anxious, I felt anxious, but in the parts where she wasn't anxious, I was bored. I will leave it at 3 stars because this is a story that needs to be told more often, and Laura's journey is helpful for many autistic women.
