I consumed this audiobook in a couple of days after listening to Pete’s other excellent book ‘Untypical’. If you, like me, are on the quest to understanding yourself as an autistic person, this book will be of huge benefit to you. The way in which I have suppressed all of my interests - many of which I share with the author - throughout my teens and adulthood, has caused huge emotional damage to me. All due to wanting to fit in and not appear obsessive. Thank you for writing this book Pete and for sharing your interests and life.
