Reading this book felt like someone understood me for the very first time. It will be frequently useful when disclosing my disabilities and access needs to others. It was dense with information but very easy to read.

This book is wonderful. To any autistic person or anyone with friends, family members, or loved ones who are autistic, you should read this. I feel so seen. I feel like I understand myself and my disability better. I feel more okay with myself.
