4.5/5
A book was written by 15 adult autistic women? Hell yeah! I don’t think I know any autistic women over the age of 30, so it was great to be able to read many of their different experiences. They exist! I felt so much recognition in their stories. It made me emotional multiple times. It made me feel heard and welcomed into a community
The clinical perspective was a nice addition. The clinical expert added to the stories of the autistic women without making it feel like she knows more about autism than the autistic women themselves.
In the book, the authors also mention lots of research and other books that I would like to read. Nice!
The reason why I did not give this 5 stars is that the authors could have been more diverse. They were all written by white cisgender women.
