Trans and Autistic : Stories from Life at the Intersection by Bridget Liang, Noah Adams
informative
slow-paced
2.5
This book has some good ideas and it's great to see this topic brought to light, and the authors do a good job of centering autistic trans people.
I found parts of the book interesting, but overall it was underwhelming. It reads like a scientific report (and I'm OK with those generally) and lacks wit or much overarching insight. Each chapter ends with a final thoughts section which regurgitates the information from the chapter without adding anything in particular.
I'm a trans autistic person and some of the accounts resonated for me, but the formulaic structure left me struggling a bit. I'd like to have seen information elaborated on.
