Review: We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation

We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation by Eric Garcia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

03 June 2023

P 64

Quality reporting shifting the conversation around people on the autism spectrum from disability to normal variation found in the population.

But it makes me incandescent with rage that all the attention has gone to pleasing rich white parents of young boys while the girls, transgendered, racial and ethnic minorities, poor, rural and adult populations are underdiagnosed and pushed to the side again. Why, yes, this is exactly the same pattern as in ADHD which, fun fact, has a very high level of comorbidity with autism.

And the rage tires me out and distracts me, and requires soothing cat time, or falling down a rabbit hole on the internet, or something. Which means I can only read a little and this is already the third or fourth time I have had to return it and check it out again.
