i actually really liked this as someone who didn't even know Michael and that's because I'm not Canadian and they dont get much attention as Americans do ok. the audiobook was so good and he's good at storytelling. the epilogue was sad rip.  anyways there's something about reading books about fellow autistic's experiences that make me feel weird. it's just it feels like I'm not autistic enough and then I feel like I'm more disabled than they are as I haven't achieved anything memorable yet and I don't even know when ill be able to live independently. its great to see how an autistic person could grow up if they're in a supportive environment and family though. good for him!
