“It is easier, maybe, to be misunderstood than to find the words, over and over again, to explain the very existence that is me”
An autistic mind in metaphor. It is personal, deep, quirky, thought provoking and oh so relatable! I recognise the monster and totally “got” where the author was coming from. Highlighting not just autistic struggles, but those of anxiety and depression as well, we really get an insight on how difficult it can be to be neurodiverse in the modern world.
I also enjoyed the poetry interludes, the author is certainly a very talented and creative writer. I hadn’t heard of their other book “How To Be Autistic”, but I’m definitely adding to my TBR.
I just want to add – I see you and I believe in you ♡
Many thanks to NetGalley and Jessica Kingsley Publishers for my advanced copy.
