This was not a guide at all. Instead it was like a deep dive into one neurodivergent person’s mental models and the scientific metaphors she uses.
I have no idea what a neurotypical person might think of this book. But if you’re neurodivergent:
You might not like this if you want a guide, if you want a psychological perspective, if you don’t like when concepts from science are applied metaphorically to people, or if your own mental models of the world clash with the author’s.
I did like the experience of what felt like seeing inside of the head of someone who seems very similar to me in a lot of ways. This probably would have been a 5 star book for me if I read it at 14.
