Autism by Uta Frith
Did not finish book.
I had this saved on my audiobook app for awhile. I honestly regret even trying it.
The language used was offensive....
"being autistic could be in many ways worse than being born blind or deaf" - literally not even half way through the 1st chapter...
Also, the 'r' slur...
The entire POV is not that scientific but actually quite ableist.
Do not recommend at all.
*edit:
i had spelled 'ableist' wrong... fucking dyslexia, man
