I would like to thank Edelweiss and Antheum Books for Young Readers for providing me with a free e-ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
All the Noise at Once is a powerful story of social justice, being autistic in a neurotypical world, and the power of brotherly love. So many relevant issues are presented in this book, varying from over-policing on Black individuals to challenging innate stereotypes about being autistic, and I appreciate the care that Davis took with addressing these issues as well as discussing the intersectionality of being Black and autistic. I can see this book being talked about for a long time and being regarded as important reading for YA autistic literature.
