Fern speaks with a candor that you don't often get these days, especially, as she mentions, with the topics at hand in this book. Every inch of this book is pure honesty and raw emotion but is handled with the perfect amount of care. I think she very much accomplishes the mission she sets out to take on - tell her story in the hope that you will be a little kinder to the next person similar to her and honestly, what more could you want. I enjoyed this book so much, and, as the partner of an autistic person, thank you for writing this, Fern.
