pickI attended a training recently on working with neurodivergent colleagues and decided to listen to this book for a little more insight. It talks about different types of neurodiversities and highlights women in these categories, which I really appreciated as it‘s always been a male dominated study. This book was enlightening and I had some takeaways and see many traits in my immediate family which is not surprising at all.

A great book for women and girls with AS/ASD🩷
Really appreciated the real-life accounts.

1. She conducted interviews with people who have autism to give a broader perspective. As long as your perspective/exercise is found somewhere in there even partially you‘re good to go.
2. A not too bad discussion on situational mutism.

I finished this, but right now my review is so long and all over the place, I‘m taking some time to collect my thoughts.
Really struggling with this one. She‘s clearly a kook (autistic women are naturally psychic 🤨) and now she no longer identifies as ASD/AS because she cured herself with food. 😒 The stories of other women with ASD are nice. It‘s nice knowing other women have has similar experiences, even if the similarities are sometimes rather abstract. I just don‘t know. I wish she would get on with it so I could be done with the book.
pickThis is a collection of essays by Autistic women that outlines what they or their parents wish they knew when they were growing up. Some of the women were not diagnosed until they were adults & they discuss the perspective they have now raising an Autistic child. Even though it‘s geared towards girls most of it can be applicable to boys. As a mom of an Autistic child it‘s important to read works by Autistic authors to understand their experiences
I have a case of start-itus AND insomnia, so I‘m now #audiocrocheting a hooded hexagon cardigan.
It will be my first cardigan and my first crocheted piece of clothing.
Hades is silently judging me for starting ANOTHER project this week.

pickFor neurodivergent (autism, ADHD, HSP, SPD), non-male people. A key trait, sensitivity, has been overlooked because it's associated w/women, a population underrepresented in medical studies until 1990s (Saini). Those of us diagnosed later in life, it usually follows a massive breakdown or the verge of suicide. We must stop pathologizing differences. Billions of brains on this planet, we do not need to conform to the "one true model" of existence.
