I loved what she wrote about self compassion but I could not finish this book because of the way she talked about her autistic son. While I fully understand the need for self compassion in parenting, her way of talking about her son’s autism was absolutely grating to me as an autistic person. Very much fed into the “autism warrior mom” caricature of a mom calling herself a hero for loving an autistic child in one moment and the next yelling that autism ruined her life.
