DNF. Ran out of time on my loan. Was enjoying it though.

The inspiring story of a family born entirely without autism, who nevertheless (with the help of a patient teacher) learned how to express themselves accurately.

The author gives deep, inspiring insights into Fred Rogers and his deliberate activism for peace and justice. I didn't know, for example, that when he told Francois "Officer" Clemmons that he loved him exactly as he is but that Franc couldn't be seen at gay bars and stay on the program, the conversation happened before Stonewall, before most straight people had any idea of what life was really like for queer people. And the book doesn't absolve him of his failure to include gay people in the Neighborhood, either--but the timing was news to me.

Adichie has produced an elegant little book containing big ideas, so there's room for a copy of it on every bookshelf (and there ought to be a copy on every bookshelf). I got the impression that the author was conflating being female with having certain parts, but I hope I was misreading her.
