A review by cassmdurell
The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon

reflective slow-paced

2.0

In general I liked a lot about this book. But the way autistic people were portrayed was not always the best. And I found it especially upsetting

that the main character was so brilliant and complex and still opted to have his brain broken down into an infant for the chance to be “normal”. And then he could only fulfill his dreams once he wasn’t autistic. The messaging there is exceptionally screwed up.
