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

This is one of the first books I've read about neurodiversity from a neurodiverse person. 

I'm on my own journey, and I appreciated reading a story that echoed feelings I had growing up and experiences that I still have today. 

I found occasionally it repeated something that had been said, but that's not a bad thing just an observation. 

This is another tool that can help me on my own self discovery, and I hope will help me feel better that I'm 33 trying to figure this out. 

I've listed some triggers in the list, but those triggers are labelled in the book as well.
