The Bride Test

Seeing autistic representation in books never fail to make me feel so happy and seen. This book demonstrates perfectly some of the struggles that autistic people experience when it comes to relationships or their everyday lives.

You know you're really enjoying a book when you potentially put off reading it because you don't want to finish it. I don't care how cringey or silly this book might seem to others but this is so special to me as someone who is autistic.

I truly believed for a long time that I wouldn't ever find someone who could accept me as I am, my autistic quirks and all. I told myself I wouldn't be able to experience love or understand when I had felt it.

“Everyone deserved to love and be loved back”

I think this is really important to include because I think it's such a beautiful quote. No one should ever settle or accept less than what they deserve.

“I love you. I told myself I didn't. Because I was afraid to lose someone again, and I doubted myself, and I wanted only the best for you. But the feeling has gotten too big to deny. My heart works in a different way, but it's yours. You're my one.”

This is definitely a comfort read for me.
