this book has interested me for a long time, as i’ve known im very likely autistic for a while and knew this was by an autistic author. this book was interesting but definitely hit a problem i’ve noticed in books of this style, that they’re just too academic for my tastes and don’t feel as grounded as i’d like them to. and that may just be a problem with me, i can have a difficult time sometimes understanding theory and the point of it/how it can be applied for use to help people (i tend to be a very literal thinker, so often theory is a little too abstract and, yknow, theoretical for me)
the essays also sometimes felt disjointed, due to the fact that they were originally published on a blog and not meant to be put all next to each other in a book.
interesting read, i did really like the entire point of “throwing away the master’s tools” in terms of language we use, but overall just a little too confusing and academic for me.
