This book is amazing. It is honest, it is completely authentic and inspiring and super informative with anecdotes, facts and well presented and embedded statistics. It is everything any Autistic person, especially female and FAB person needs to read/hear. I have found that it has inspired, encouraged and helped me find the confidence to embrace who I am more and be radical, be different, just be me and I've already started to dress more aligned to how I really want to, what brings me joy and is genuinely an expression of me, rather than to appear *put together* or "mature" (I'm just 32 by a few days). I can't thank Chloe enough for her book, it's amazing and I'm trying to convince my husband to read it ☺️

This book is aimed at young AFAB adults but as a 39 year old late diagnosed autistic woman I found it to be extremely validating. Chloe's writing style exudes natural ease and positivity which made the serious, challenging and important information accessible to all. Her choice to refer to Disney and fairytale metaphors throughout made everything easily digestible and memorable. Both of these things also gave us a lot of Chloe. Unapologetic, eye sparkling, infectious Chloe.
I found the sections about how rigid education and employment systems fail us, how incorrect language and labelling is ableist and about menstruation particularly interesting. I also thank Chloe for discussing autistic women and sexual assault, including her own experiences.
I'd definitely recommend this book to newly diagnosed autistic females of any age and their parents/significant others.
