Love. A. Memoir.
Fern Brady is such a genuine voice for the autistic community in this book, and each chapter builds on an aspect of her life or on a new aspect of autism which educates in a very manageable way. Instead of acting as a handbook for autism and mental illness and Brady's career, the reading/listening experience of this book feels like a lecture that you actually chose to go to because the content is interesting and the lecturer has some spirit about them.
"Strong Female Character" is at once enlightening and deeply upsetting. Fern is a wonderful character. I think everyone should read this book, regardless of whether they think they need it.
Will be thinking about this for a while.
