@jens I just checked to see if this is available via my library app and it is...with 34 people waiting for two copies.

@Stitcher It may be worth a purchase. Terrifyingly hard read for me, but also great.

@jens @actuallyautistic Just started reading it and yes...

I hope it'll help me in my process of finding myself and unmasking.

@jens @actuallyautistic Fascinating idea! I've always wondered if I'm on the spectrum somewhere. Hard to tell though. Maybe I've learned a ton of compensating behaviors that mask what's really going on in there. The book sounds intriguing. :blobcatbook:

@jens @actuallyautistic yeah, I’ve been working through it since December. It’s really good

@jens I read one paragraph on the sample page and started bawling

@jens @actuallyautistic I was looking for an ebook version of that book but I can't find it.

If anyone has a clue, I'd appreciate it.

@liscarey @jens @actuallyautistic Yeah, I found that one on Amazon but it looks like a different book. Is it actually the same book?

It wouldn't be the first time I get confused by the publisher's shenanigans. 😩

@liscarey @terminalimpala @jens @actuallyautistic Apple Books has it too.

There’s also a great audiobook version read by the author. I got the audiobook first from libro.fm and am going through the printed version now.

Most local libraries can hook you up with any format.

That book made me realize I'm autistic.
