This what I needed to know

Becca Lory Hector opened up my eyes. This book has helped me immensely. Safe Foods, Sunglasses, headphones, as a parent of an autistic child I needed to have this book read years ago. Learning about autistic joy through Becca’s experiences has shattered my previous perceptions, and I am grateful that she was brave enough to share this! Have purchased multiple copies of this book and shared it other important people in my life

Good Info on Autism

This is good for anyone dealing with autism in either their child or themselves. It's interesting and accessible info. The AI narration is also not that bad.

The direct honesty

As a late-diagnosed Autistic man, I found much recognition and relief from this quick read, highly recommended for all those who have autistic friends and family in their lives.
