Queerly Autistic

i honestly don't really know how to rate this.
some parts of it i am in total agreement with, and some parts of it are just so misinformed that it completely took me out of the reading experience.

i have minor gripes like the book being slightly repetitive in the advice and resources it gives but i'm sure that this will be helpful to some readers in developing their understanding. my most major concern however is the author's assertion that bi/pan lesbians are a thing.
they're not.

i do believe in the split attraction model, people can obviously have different romantic and sexual orientations (every ace person isn't also aro etc.), but lesbians are by default not interested in men romantically or sexually. sexuality can be confusing, but there are countless ways to define, including with umbrella terms like sapphic, wlw, or even gay. 

it's hard to put into words but i just think that some aspects and opinions given in this book could be damaging to some readers.
