    Enjoyment: 4.5Quality: 5.0Characters: Plot: Audiobook: 5.0

    A brilliant book. Dr Price has clearly done an incredible amount of research to write this book and the variety of people he chose to interview is notable. Not only is this book packed with information on autism itself, but it is intersectional in its analysis of how autism is experienced by individuals and received by others. He talks about how race, gender, culture and so many other factors feed into it in a way that is respectful and representative. The exercises and writing prompts throughout the book are clear and helpful. Dr Price's own experiences of his autism and how it intersects with his trans identity were insightful, honest and touching. I just wish there were a few more examples and tips on unmasking when it is dangerous for you (for example, could cause loss of employment, housing, support networks, aggression towards you). Unmasking is still a privilege, which he acknowledges, but fails to actually detail what people who don't have that privilege do. There's very little information about how to actually unmask, which I reckon is covered in more detail in his other book 'Unmasking for Life'.

    Narration: Dr Price narrates this himself, and I found him to be a skilled, clear narrator.
