![]() ![]() ![]() Unlike most autobiographies though, this book isn’t chronologically-structured. Especially since books on autism are mostly written by therapists, parents or caregivers of autistic people. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wished I could get into the head of my Caleb and understand how his mind works!Īnd if that title alone wasn’t enough, the fact that it was w ritten from a first-person perspective made my decision to get my hands on it a no-brainer. It sounded like a promise for how to become autistic. Right away when I laid eyes on the book cover, I was sold simply on its title “ How To Be Autistic “. Published in January this year, the book’s an autobiographical account of how a young woman from Suffolk, England (31-year-old author Charlotte Amelia Poe ), grew up as an autistic woman in a predominantly neurotypical world. Today, I’m reviewing “ How To Be Autistic ” by Charlotte Amelia Poe, and the three takeaways I took away after reading the marvellous story of her life. Now, 13 months later, I am resuscitating this series in hopes that the next review needn’t wait another 13 months! (* Fingers crossed and placed firmly behind my back *) Since then, life kinda got in the way (well that’s my excuse so I’m sticking to it no matter what!). That July post also included useful information I put together about different categories of autism books (you can check it out here ). In July 2019, I started what was supposed to be a regular series to review books written about ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), a topic close to my heart. ![]()
