RFK Jr‘s recent statements about autism are troubling and dangerous. I encourage everyone to read the article I‘ve shared for more information. I also encourage you to read books like this one, written by an autistic author.

lil1inblue His rhetoric is making me very nervous. The fact he thinks (and says) that autism can be/will be cured makes me suspect they're heading towards eugenics. 1w
Kerrbearlib @lil1inblue I fear that‘s where they‘re heading as well. 1w

TieDyeDude It is sickening that sentient tanning hide now has a national platform and power to perpetuate his lies. 1w
Kerrbearlib @TieDyeDude agreed. It's completely sickening. 1w

An overdue review!

This is a great book for people with autism or people who think they have autism. I love it for three main reasons:

1. It‘s written by a person who has autism. Everything they share is from personal experience.
2. The essays are short and easy to follow.
3. It includes Jackie‘s amazing art.

Bookwomble What are you doing to my TBR, Kerry! 🫣📚📚📚😄 10mo

“I want to be open about my emotional experiences for my fellow autistics who experience the same.
For the more we can articulate our experiences, the less shame we will feel. The less alone and less broken.”

I love how vulnerable and open the author is about her emotional experiences.

I requested that this book be added to Litsy. I‘ve requested for books to be added before. They were never added. I hope this one will be. Update - it‘s added!

dabbe If you have the ISBN #, you can add it yourself. I just did it for you. 🤩🤗😃 13mo
Kerrbearlib @dabbe thank you! How do we do this? This is an exciting discovery! 😃 13mo
Kerrbearlib @dabbe figured it out, yay! 😃 13mo
dabbe @Kerrbearlib I don't know how long they've allowed this, but it's pretty nifty, no? Maybe they got tired of never answering requests like yours! 🤩😂😍 13mo
