Baring in mind this is considered a "middle grade" children's book, this hit my heart as an autistic adult. I found Ade's experiences with ableism and bullying difficult to read because it resonated with my own childhood experiences. Unlike Ade, I did not have a supportive family and I was not diagnosed young so it healed my soul to read about this kid with such a positive, self accepting take on herself. I love how she was angry at the world for the lack of care and justice. Especially in how it related and compared to the witch trials.
I imagine this would be a wonderfully affirming book to read as an autistic child. I didn't have books like this growing up and I am so glad they exist now.
