help! i don't want to exist: an essay on learning to be a human being
help! i don't want to exist: an essay on learning to be a human being | Charlotte Amelia Poe
2 posts | 1 reading
Charlotte Amelia Poe (they/them) is a nonbinary autistic author and artist from England. In 2018, they won the Spectrum Art Award. I'm 2019 they published How To Be Autistic.
help! i don't want to exist! an essay is a shout into the void - dealing with depression and agoraphobia, Poe explores mortality, burnout, leaving fandom, and finding hope.
candid, honest, brutal, and hopelessly optimistic, Poe delves into the darker side of being neurodivergent as their unique voice shines through in this autobiographical essay.

"I like knowing stuff. I like learning. I like being more than I was yesterday. If I am giving future me a gift, it is reading a book for an hour instead of sleeping."

This #BookMail arrived unexpectedly yesterday: I won it in a Library Thing #EarlyReviewers giveaway. Gonna see if I can squeeze it in as my final book for May ?
It says it deals with "the darker side of being #neurodivergent " but also that it is "hopelessly optimistic," so perhaps the darkness isn't entirely unrelieved.
