I'm so glad I read this. I didn't realize I was autistic until I was an adult, and I found a lot of this really relatable, despite having very different experiences from her (both with regard to autism and just life in general). It's a really detailed and honest look at growing up undiagnosed, and so much of this was really frustrating or sad to read. I wish everyone would read this if only to get this full of a picture of one autistic person's experiences.
