Critics Review
This beautifully written collection of autistic and gender intersectional experiences is challenging, heartbreaking, emotive and mind blowing. There is one theme: My autistic experience of gender and sexuality is valid. Personally, I relate so well to the various experiences echoed in the book. The intersectionalilty of neurodivergence and gender difference leads to a life unforetold and it’s time these voices were heard, understood and accommodated. – Wenn B. Lawson (PhD) CPsychol University of Birmingham, UK. & SA Govt. Australia.
