I really love the idea of this anthology, but it feels like it would have benefited from much more prudent editing. Maybe it could have been separated into sections based on themes to prevent some of the repetition, or to give it a more cohesive structure. As always with an anthology-style book, some of the essays were much more readable than others, but it feels like them could have been vastly improved with some editorial revision.

Still, I did appreciate the aims of this book, and what it tries to do (and largely succeeds in doing.) I really liked how it shows so many different perspectives, and the diversity really works in its favour. It feels like a lot of people are being represented here, and I definitely feel like it works well as a counter argument to the idea that all autistic people are somehow the same. I would love for there to be a follow-up or sequel anthology, because this one was close to hitting the mark for me, but didn't quite get there.
