this was bomb as hell. seriously this book has made it to my list of books i always will rec when someone asks me for my definitive rec list. i think everyone should read this.
this book defo helped me find the words to verbalise a lot of issues i have with societal interpretations and expectations surrounding autism. especially liked the verbalisation surrounding the medical paradigm, it defo helped me put into words why i have such an issue with person-first language.
this also lowkey helped me embrace my autism? not to say i didnt before. but ive always been the person to say "oh if there was a cure for autism i would 100% take it i hate being autistic most of the time it fucking sucks". but idk this book has almost made me realise autism is what makes me who i am? i cannot seperate my autism from me or me from my autism, and this book has made me start to accept that a lot more.
i also loved the definitons of new concepts. this helped me learn im a dumbass and have been misusing neurodivergent because i didnt get the definition. Oops! 
idk how to explain this better but this has defo helped me understand how autism and autism-based activism works on a deeper level. im so serious if anyone ever asks me for autisic and/or nonfic book recs this book WILL be making that list. 
i suck at nonfic reviews
