I Overcame My Autism and All I Got Was This Lousy Anxiety Disorder: A Memoir by Sarah Kurchak

fast-paced

4.5

I don’t love her usage of “normals” in refering to people without autism, but I do understand the sentiment behind it. I think this book is a pretty good depiction of Autism in adults & in late diagnosed people. 

It’s great for people without autism to get a little better understanding, and great for people with autism who need something to relate to. I especially love the emphasis on how every autistic person is different, regardless of levels or support needs.
