This was a very interesting and informative read, and a different (although in some respects similar) account and view point to Emily Katie’s. Chloé’s honestly and openness about being autistic really shines through and is what makes this book so successful. She offers information and advice whilst acknowledging that hers is just one viewpoint and that there are many others in the world, and that everyone’s experience will be different. I really loved how she included trigger/content warnings in her writing for elements which could be difficult or detrimental for some people to read about. It’s clear that she has really thought about the book’s accessibility and audience, which i think is amazing and sets a positive precedent for books in the future.

I have never read a book that has felt like me ever and I think this is a must read for anyone whether autistic or not. Chloe's raw emotions and stories really help me to empathise with them and with myself
