Strong Female Character by Fern Brady

emotional funny informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

Awful as it is that it took until 2022 for a book like this to exist, I’m so glad it does now. Fern Brady writes such an accurate representation of autism in women, a phenomenon that has been ignored for such a long time, using both personal stories AND data. 

More people need to read this book.
