Uncomfortable Labels: My Life as a Gay Autistic Trans Woman by Laura Kate Dale

4.0
Though there is a large correlation between autistic people and queer people, it's sometimes challenging to find books from that lived experiences. I am grateful to Dale, as a gay autistic trans woman, for putting her story out there to share what those intersections look like for her.
A lot of Dale's personal story is emotionally heavy and tragic, but she ends the book on a positive and hopeful note.
