PROS
1. She conducted interviews with people who have autism to give a broader perspective. As long as your perspective/exercise is found somewhere in there even partially you‘re good to go.
2. A not too bad discussion on situational mutism.

I finished this, but right now my review is so long and all over the place, I‘m taking some time to collect my thoughts.
Really struggling with this one. She‘s clearly a kook (autistic women are naturally psychic 🤨) and now she no longer identifies as ASD/AS because she cured herself with food. 😒 The stories of other women with ASD are nice. It‘s nice knowing other women have has similar experiences, even if the similarities are sometimes rather abstract. I just don‘t know. I wish she would get on with it so I could be done with the book.
I have a case of start-itus AND insomnia, so I‘m now #audiocrocheting a hooded hexagon cardigan.
It will be my first cardigan and my first crocheted piece of clothing.
Hades is silently judging me for starting ANOTHER project this week.

For neurodivergent (autism, ADHD, HSP, SPD), non-male people. A key trait, sensitivity, has been overlooked because it's associated w/women, a population underrepresented in medical studies until 1990s (Saini). Those of us diagnosed later in life, it usually follows a massive breakdown or the verge of suicide. We must stop pathologizing differences. Billions of brains on this planet, we do not need to conform to the "one true model" of existence.
This offers a completely new way of seeing and being. Here for it. Excited to see this paradigm grow.
I really liked this book. After reading two other books that were very basic, introductory level books on neurodivergence (one of which heavily pathologized it and the other of which was not very useful), this book felt like a breath of fresh air. The author approaches neurodiversity from a positive perspective and highlights both her own story and the stories of other neurodivergent women.
This was an excellent comic collection. I love these types of comic collections by multiple artists. They really capture multiple perspectives on lives experience, and shine light on similarities people experience. I learned more about autism from this book, which is useful to me for many reasons. A lot of the advice shared applies to other things as well, like ADHD and PTSD as well. #ASD #Autism #Comic
