Was deeply engaged in a difficult conversation today when a book caught my attention across the room. “Is that Unmasking Autism? I read that earlier this year.” It was an optional opening for optional disclosure. It changed the questions he felt comfortable asking, changed how I provided education, and it ended be a deeply satisfying and helpful exchange. Today was a real win. #autistic #autism @bookstodon

Unmasking Autism is a good book.

@addie

Currently reading it, and underlining and annotating in it like a madman!

I've been refraining from writing in books my whole life. It felt natural to start doing it in that book.

@axnxcamr @addie @actuallyautistic @bookstodon @audhd I was taught growing up that writing in books is having “a conversation with the author.” I loved writing in books that I feel a connection with… Unmasking Autism was definitely one of those books for me. #autism #actuallyautistic

@BZBrainz @axnxcamr @addie @actuallyautistic @bookstodon @audhd i highlight and take notes in my kindle app! and that's in my to-read stack.

@geographile @axnxcamr @addie @actuallyautistic @bookstodon @audhd I love my Kindle app for a similar reason! 🥰

On Kindle, it's fine. I was raised by a librarian, an I can never be comfortable writing in a paper book. You spoil it for the next reader, unless it's an archaologist a few centuries from now.
