In this memoir, Daniel Bowman Jr. explores what it looks like to love others well. Throughout the collected essays, he extends an invitation to readers into his experience of the world, an experience marked by an appreciation of beauty and relationship, and one which does not turn away from difficulties, beautifully demonstrating how both autism and faith have influenced his view on life. Through his experiences, he shows readers a world marked by care for others, offering thoughts on what it looks like to live well in community with one another—and calling them to live in such a way as well.

this discusses the author’s journey with a late autism diagnosis and his thoughts on how autism affects daily life. what originally drew me to this book was seeing that the author is a christian and discusses his beliefs and how they relate to autism. i did end up appreciating this aspect and i wish there had been even more on this. i’d recommend to anyone wanting to gain a perspective on daily life, relationships, and faith from an autistic person.
