Got a bit repetitive, might come back to it someday.
vagrantheather's review against another edition
Oh my god how many times can an author tell you how brilliant and skilled she is. I genuinely wonder if the author has a personality disorder. She starts off telling us she's a genius so far beyond most people that we can't even conceive of it. Then tells us how perfect she is at language, accents, acting, and fitting in. She's the pretty cheerleader valedictorian sorority sister and she picks up accents so perfectly that even native speakers of a language are convinced she's local. Her instincts are so perfectly attuned that she can pick out autism 100% of the time without ever being wrong (oh but she isn't a doctor so she won't claim to know, but well, she's an expert too so actually she does know and she has never been wrong). I had hoped the author would eventually move on and not talk about herself and how amazing she is, but about page 93 she's going on and on about how when she was 8 years old she realized she was way smarter than her mom. Ok girl. 🙄

Tiresome. I gained one very useful insight about my parents from an incident involving hers which is why I gave it the second star.

It started well. But then it was not for me anymore.

I had high hopes, but this was rambling and not what I expected.
