Reviews with content warning for Acephobia/Arophobia - How to Be Ace: A Memoir of Growing Up Asexual

A great read about a autistic and asexual person living with OCD, and the ways that they came to understand their identity. The artwork is great, the narrative is strong and I think that folks who share those lived experiences will see themselves represented.

Wow, it's kind of scary how much the author and I have in common. It was really comforting to learn how they were able to survive and forge out a happy life despite experiencing ocd and emetophobia. And their experience being asexual was very relatable. It made me grateful that I grew up in a time where it was easier to stumble upon resources about asexuality through the internet. I kind of wish that there was more to the book, because sometimes it felt like I was missing information. But overall I really liked it!

One artist’s journey exploring and coming to understand their asexuality. Almost equal time and space seems to be given to their experience as a person with OCD and how they managed the symptoms of anxiety and panic.

There were some pages or scenes within a chapter where there was a quick transition and I went looking for the missing page or whatever I missed, but I had in fact not missed anything.
