This book is quit boring. Nothing truly happens and no big developments are made. However, as someone who loves many people with autism it is a good read. No two people with autism are the same, but to get a glimpse and understanding of how those who have autism may see or feel the world is always a great learning experience. As I read, I really started to empathize with those out in the world like the main character who aren’t understood and don’t understand themselves. Especially those who can’t get diagnosed or who have family that aren’t supportive in the diagnosis. It’s a great short read and while it won’t be life changing or have any shocking twists, it is great at making you reflect on the people you love and how you treat others.
