From my experience with early ages children who are autistic, I relate so much more to the girl’s experiences.

I definitely presented more like an autistic boy as a kid, so feel free to invalidate me πŸ˜…

OMG I've got this one, different cover though!

I think I read it almost in one go and didn't give up half way through, which is a huge achievement for me

It really helped me understand my autism and explained so many of my difficulties as a child, teenager etc

Spoiler alert, the chapter on older women with autism is very thin, as let's face it we are a small, under diagnosed demographic, but here we are!

Weirdly, I've been thinking a lot recently of women on the margins of society historically, the spinsters, widows, the women who choose live alone because they function differently, and how they've been either ridiculed or treated with hostility and violence

I think I'm beginning my witchy part of life, and I intend to fully embrace it πŸ§™

edit, forgot to mention, she has some really good videos on YouTube if you find it easier than reading

Thank you so much, that’s helpful! And I know what you mean. I’m also entering my crone era, and fucks are hard to come by.
