Too many cliché culty words and too "cult of personality". I still have a lot of respect and solidarity and believe he has his heart in the right place, but the message would reach so many more hearts if it didn't read like a CIIS PhD dissertation.

Great advice and experience for neurodiverse people, with actionable plans to reduce triggering situations and handle them better too. My only issue is that the book is too short! Would love to learn more hacks and specific techniques to get by and help others get by too.

I still believe in the cause and I still believe in Amber. If you can, listen to the audiobook. She's so wholesome and warm in her very own way, witty yet emotional.

The only time I've cried
along with a politician
was when Justin Trudeau
mourned a very loved musician
in Canadian English
and broken Quebecois.
Still feeling like pure shit:
I just want Gordie back.
