Adults who have been undiagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face a daily struggle but remain unaware there is a way to make life better. This audiobook explains the process of autism diagnosis through a former patient's personal account after being diagnosed with autism. Containing humorous anecdotes and stories, this audiobook provides an alternative perspective of looking at autism spectrum disorder.

Good information, difficult to hear
Reviewed: 01-14-22
This is a fair top-level overview, although like most resources for autistic adults, much of the cited research has to do with autistic children. It can be helpful, but I was hoping for more adult resources. Also, some things didn't translate well from text to speech for me, such as the phrase, "we'll get to that." I thought the narrator's voice was very soft and their s's sounded like f's. I found that trying to follow their diction was distracting from the content.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 182
Popular nutritionist Nora Gedgaudas returns with advice that may sound counterintuitive: eat fat to burn fat. In her new book, Primal Fat Burner, she explains the benefits and science behind a ketogenic diet: It switches your metabolism from running on sugars to running on healthy fats. As Gedgaudas reveals, numerous studies in recent years have refuted the previously promoted anti-saturated fat and anti-cholesterol agenda. Now, Gedgaudas explains, science shows that fat isn't a no-no but rather a yes-yes.

Great book, easy to follow
Reviewed: 03-18-17
This book was pretty good. I was skeptical that it might be another health fad, but she seems to have a lot of first hand knowledge of human dietary history, plus the time she spent with the Inuits. It just seems to make sense that if you train your body to burn fat as a primary resource, then eating fat won't make you fat. I'll admit that some of the foods she mentioned made me cringe a little, but then again, I feel like I've trained myself to prefer the wrong foods. I did think the narration voice sounded computerized, because of how some words were pronounced, like, "pico de gallo," which she says like PEEKO-DUH-GALLOW, and the correct way is more like PEEKO-DEE-GUY-OH. Then she said herbs de province correctly. I'm going to try a bone broth and will try to cut carbs and dairy down considerably before I dive head first, and I'm excited about seeing how some of the recipes might turn out.
