I really like that forced institutionalization of autistic people is briefly discussed, because it's an important topic that doesn't get a lot of attention.
I loved seeing multiple autistic characters in one story, especially within the same family, which added to it feeling more realistic.
I also love that the story discusses autistic burnout and talks about the debilitating effects it can have.

Autistic people aren’t broken or damaged - if you truly believe that we are, educate yourself.

Never ever have I seen the internal monologue of a protagonist and thought, “she’s just like me, she understands” so many times that it brought me to tears.
Too many of her experiences were unfortunately exactly like mine and although it’s sad that autistic people have such universally shit experiences, it really made me happy to see it written down in a published book like??? People can just read this and know how it feels and know what it’s like and that’s AWESOME!! More of this please!
I love Addie so much <33
Graphic: Ableism
Minor: Torture and Violence
This book has very graphic depictions of ableism both through discussing history, a character being institutionalised, and Addie is repeatedly bullied. The R slur is used once. Brief mention of witches being tortured to admit they’re witches, this is not detailed.
