Please, please, please check trigger warnings before reading this book!
This memoir is described by the author as a tell-all, and she really did lay it all out for us - and in some really important ways. I appreciate how Fern didn't back away from topics that would normally not be discussed and how she approached normalizing what everyday life looks like for her as an autistic woman. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
