My son is autistic so I nervous going into this but I loved it.
Yes, it‘s heartbreaking and difficult at times (the history of how autistic children were treated is brutal) but it is full of history, science and hope. It is well written, well researched and it genuinely changed my perspective on autism in the best possible way. Important and thought provoking, everyone needs to read this book.

12 years ago today I became a Mummy. My beautiful boy has complex special needs and my world has become a whole lot smaller over the last decade. It‘s one of the reasons books are so important to me, they aren‘t just my escape from everyday life, they are my chance to go other places and have other adventures. Books keep me sane!

TheKidUpstairs What a beautiful photo! Hopefully, Litsy is a safe space for you to have a moment for you in your days. Glad that you're here. 2mo

This was a novel in verse about a girl who is struggling more with her neurodivergence as she gets into middle school. She comes to realize that she‘s on the autism spectrum and other members of her family probably are as well. She becomes an advocate for herself as she learns there are others who feel the same and more about accommodations that can be helpful.

I attended a training recently on working with neurodivergent colleagues and decided to listen to this book for a little more insight. It talks about different types of neurodiversities and highlights women in these categories, which I really appreciated as it‘s always been a male dominated study. This book was enlightening and I had some takeaways and see many traits in my immediate family which is not surprising at all.

- Weekend away in London was awesome! Absolutely knackered now though - I think it will take me several more days to recover.

-Tagged book: I appreciate the term “lezzing off” so much 😂

- Bath bomb was another LushxMinecraft collab: Diamond Ore. These are so well done…I love how they look, smell and feel. #bathbomb #minecraft #london #lush

I‘ve been away from Litsy for two years and could not believe it had been so long when I just logged in and checked my last post. Reading fell by the wayside as I went through what I suppose is semi-retirement due to health stuff. I have no idea what I‘ve filled my time with, but it hasn‘t been productive in any meaningful way. I‘m okay though. I think.

Bath bomb is from the MinecraftxLush collab. #minecraft #bathbomb #bathing #relaxation

This is an excellent exploration of neurodiveristy, terminology definition (which was so helpful!), and applying queer theory. It took a long time to get around to what the author meant by neuroqueer theory, but she explains it extremely well, and everything leading up to it aptly broadened my understanding before we got there. There's a lot from this book that I take away to use in my life both in understand and making space for neurodiveristy.

Kenyazero Also, huge kudos for calling Autism Speaks what it is: a hate organization. (edited) 5mo
