TW: mentions of ableism, distress and trauma

Note: I'm an autistic /ADHD non binary person

I wish this book was given to everyone, both us autistic people and parents when we first begin our journeys - especially to therapists and councellers who didn't get properly trained (or updated) on current autism research. It's an excellent primer on us autistic folk, our needs, and breaking things down super easy to understand.

I've read others reviews that it is too 'basic', but honestly, it's a much needed starting resource, especially for parents and caregivers to read, and hopfully before they are inundated with ABA and pressure from 'autism moms' to try 'curing' their kids.

Even myself, who have been studying and researching for several years learned a new thing or two.
