Strong Female Character by Fern Brady

5.0

I opened this book at about midday today on the train, and I’ve just finished it at 8:30pm. It’s a wonderfully intersectional exposé of undiagnosed autism and the profound impact of male-by-default understanding of the condition. It’s funny, relatable, sad and at times difficult to read, but ultimately engaging, with fascinating insights into the author’s own passion to understand herself. I thoroughly recommend and now have to scramble to find another book to read on the journey home in a few days.
