Strong Female Character: Nero Book Awards Winner

This is a very entertaining yet informative and at times heartbreaking account of the world experienced by an autistic woman who didn’t get diagnosed until she reached her thirties. As a neurotypical woman, I relished the clear-eyed view of the ludicrous hypocrisies and fakeries that we create around us without ever thinking about them, and as a teacher it’s incredibly helpful to know what signs to look for in others and how to adapt the teaching environment for autistic students. But Fern Brady’s book also just makes for an enjoyable few hours of reading.
