I wouldn’t usually rate a memoir. However, this was hands down a 5 star and it would be wrong not to rate it. Honest, informative and brave. I genuinely believe everyone should read this book and open their eyes to the barriers autistic people face. It is true that anxiety and depression are so widely discussed and embraced. Yet autism is not. I adored Fern on taskmaster and it makes me so happy that this was the most autistic-friendly job she’s had and she could just be herself. I loved her as herself. Highly highly recommend!
