As an autistic person myself, I felt moved particularly by passages on family, relationships as well ad his own short story.

It's hard, for all the sentiments above, to critique the book. For my own reading preferences, I'd maybe expand upon certain extracts as there were moments where sections felt like quick snapshots where I would've benefitted from exploring more of the author's insight.

Overall, Nigashida is a supremely talented voice, and proves that sharing human experience is a rich tool in advocating for autistic personhood in people's minds and the wider public domain.
