emotional informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

Every time I feel like I know myself and I understand my identities, I find another a-spec writer/scholar who explains something about myself or my experience that I didn't realize I was self-conscious about, or feeling badly about, and something in me heals to know that it is normal - just by an alternate definition. Having representation, especially self representation of the a-spec experience is wonderful. I'm so happy that there are more books on the subject, by a-spec authors coming out!

Also heads up for discussion of the bigotry faced by a-spec individuals and how that experience differs based on intersectional identities and other marginalizing factors.

I can't say everything I want to, because that would take a long time, but this book made me feel so validated, and made me realize that this is a much bigger part of my life than I ever could have expected it to be.
