As a trans man who's recently been encouraged by my therapist to get assessed for ASD, I was very excited to read this book. I was disappointed at how inaccessible it felt to me. I LOVE reading but struggle to get through any book with long chapters, and chapters in this book can go on for 50 pages. Even breaks in text within the chapters can be 20 pages apart. It surprised me because in the first 20 pages he speaks on how neurodivergent people often struggle with breaking down tasks into manageable steps, finding things like taxes, household chores, and reading extremely difficult, but this books seems to be aimed more at neurodivergent people than neurotypical people. I wish this was broken down more into short readable sections, not even made shorter as a whole, just less daunting to approach.

This account of the authors experience is told with great care and excellent writing. I really enjoyed the format shifts to show the interactions online and through text. Speaking up about abuse of power and the lack of accountability these abusers face is so important, and showing the nuance of a victims feelings towards this person was impactful. You don't have to be a horrible person to do something horrible, and loving parts of that person and what happened does not invalidate the trauma of the experience. I saw myself in this and I hope the author is doing well and healing. 5 stars
