Iliiiiiiiii’s Reviews > Autism Is Not A Disease: The Politics of Neurodiversity > Status Update

Well... Reading this book, the fact that I dropped out of uni and got an exhausting minimum wage job doesn't sound so bad after all compared to the possibility of being in prison. I am re-considerig whether I want to go to the doctor and ask for an autism assessment...
I needed this book so much! So sick of only liberal books about "strategies" and "tips" and too many ways to cope and "fix" your neurodiverse brain!

Omg finally a book that puts into words my struggles and things I've been thinking about! A book that criticises the medical model of disability, that pathologizes neurodiversity. I didn't know that neurodiversity has radical and poltical roots. I should've guessed. I believe this book will life changing in a way. Many thanks to the author for writing this! We need more books like these instead of just "tips"
