(4.5/5) This quick graphic novel was such a good and informative read! Of course, every autistic person you meet will have a different experience (as no person is the same as another), but this compilation of comics from 40 different autistic artists and creators. For a book so small, it's really quite powerful! If most of your understanding of autism comes from the way autistic people are represented in media, this is a good book to learn from #actuallyautistic folks. This book isn't a replacement for getting to know an individual, but I think it really helped me understand overstimulation, burnout, masking, and a start of how to support folks who are autistic.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

So uhm ... yes, I went through this in a couple of hours. Autism is my special interest, and when I see anything about it by autistic people I am very interested.

I think everyone should read this comics anthology. It is very, very important that people learn about autism through the voices of autistic people, after all we live with it every single day all day, it is part of who we are, part of how we experience the world, and part of how the world experiences us. So many things within these comics were all too familiar! I am very happy to have found my people, and found out that there is nothing wrong with me - I am just different.
