Hardback, 215 pages, published 2020. Excellent used condition. No writing, all pages intact. "It is rare that autistic people get to share their own experiences, show how creative and talented and passionate they are, how different they are from media stereotypes. This insightful and eye-opening collection of essays, fiction, and visual art showcases the immense talents of some of the UK's most exciting writers and artists--who just happen to be on the spectrum. Here they reclaim the power to speak for themselves and redefine what it means to be autistic. Stim invites the reader into the lives, experiences, and minds of the contributors, and asks the reader to recognize the hurdles of being autistic in a non-autistic world and to uncover the empathy and understanding necessary to continue to champion unheard voices." There are many styles and formats here: fiction, non-fiction, and art. As with many anthologies, and depending on taste and mood, one can find the pieces to be hit-or-miss, so I would suggest browsing around rather than reading front-to-back. What links all of these selections is that Representation Matters. This is a gathering of Own Voices: words and artwork that is not ABOUT autistic people by neurotypical creators trying to imagine a point of view they cannot possibly know (another book, "The Curious ... Dog in the Night-Time" is a particularly galling example of an autism-minstrel show IMO), but BY people who actually identify as non-neurotypical. 🌈 👍
