3 stars for the first half, 1 star for the last half. What started as an interesting perspective on the different ways autism/AS can manifest turned into something that was part memoir, part really bad advice. Telling people you think autistic people have psychic abilities is a little wild, but it's your personal opinion, so go ahead. Telling people autism can be cured through diet is ridiculous. Telling people not to take antidepressants because they can just make “wise choices” to end their depression is not only untrue but downright dangerous.I am glad that this was a groundbreaking book in some ways when it was first published, but I would highly recommend reading [b:Women and Girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Understanding Life Experiences from Early Childhood to Old Age 25519486 Women and Girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder Understanding Life Experiences from Early Childhood to Old Age Sarah Hendrickx https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1432130425l/25519486.SY75.jpg 54051656] by Sarah Hendrickx instead (or at least first). It isn't without its own flaws, but if nothing else, it gives a much more research-based and well-rounded view of autism in women.
elég lassan haladtam vele, mert csomó igen mélyre ásott emléket ébresztett föl bennem. aránylag tájékozottnak éreztem magam eddig “női” asperger terén, de a könyvet olvasván még így is sok mindenre rácsodálkoztam és átértékeltem magamban.
legszívesebben kötelező irodalommá tenném ezt a könyvet, mert az érintetteknek és a környezetüknek is rengeteg magyarázattal szolgál és hatalmas segítség lehet a mindennapokban.
