Jolene Stockman states that 'Being autistic oftern means being painfully aware of the ways we don't fit'.

This book gives autistic people 'respect, fierce optimism, and strategies', some off them are a bit far fetched and hard to understand but on the whole their is some fundamental helpfully suggestions.

'To change the way people react when they hear about a
neurodivergent diagnosis. No more sympathy.  No more 'oh, in so sorry'. It's time for  autism awe! Curiosity and excitement!', great positive messages to hear, but I'm sure this would be hard to hear if you were a parent of a newly diagnosed child.


Being autistic is 'a lifetime of feeling different and alien' 👽 this is good to hear the negative as well as just hearing the positive.


Personal vision : Do what you want to do I want to do with my life, don't need anyone else to make you happy
'If you don't love your life change it'.  Is it really that simple, I don't think so?


Somehow,  there are rules that everyone knows and won't tell you', this is 
if you are on the spectrum or interested in learning more about it, this books gives you great advice to make life happier.


'The word autism comes from the Greek autos meaning isolated self'


'Its your world,' is repeated over and over throughout the book.
You learn a lot about language,  what that was used  in the past a variations of what can be used now.

"Neirotypicals and  neurodivergent brains process the world completely differently', how they differ and why it  matters is the overall theme of this book, and I  enjoyed  however it sometimes dragged along and got obsessed with language and very personal perspective came through rather than no useful advice for all to use.
