Content Warnings

Moderate: War, Pregnancy, Sexual content, and Grief

Minor: Miscarriage

In the end of the book is quite some loss. I was not really prepared for that. It made me enjoy the last part of the book less.

Queerly Autistic: The Ultimate Guide for LGBTQIA+ Teens on the Spectrum by Erin Ekins

informative medium-paced

3.75

This is a very useful book. It sheds some light on several LGBTQIA+ topics and especially in combination with Autism. There are chapters about sexuality, gender, coming out, relationships, LGBTQIA+ spaces, and more.
A downside of this book is that it is mostly focusing on the United Kingdom. A lot of resources are given, though a lot of them are for the UK. More international resources would have been more helpful, I think.
Also, some texts are repeated several times. Good if you want to not read everything. Not really nice if you want to read everything in one reading.
