Autistic and Black: Our Experiences of Growth, Progress and Empowerment by Kala Allen Omeiza

informative fast-paced

3.0

Safeguarding Autistic Girls: Strategies for Professionals by Carly Jones

0.5

Ironically misogynistic and not all inclusive or reflective for a book claiming to have the goal of guiding people on protecting autistic girls. There are a few instances of strong supportive advice but not enough to overlook the writer's many biases that they didn’t think to unlearn before publishing this book.

The Secret Life of a Black Aspie: A Memoir by Anand Prahlad

emotional inspiring reflective tense slow-paced

4.5

This is one of the most important books that I have ever read. I don't really have the words to explain what it's given me. I feel new.
