The ADHD conspiracy and the gender critical movement and the Prof Arday story and the crackdown on disability support are all the same story. There is a default ideal human: a cishet non-disabled white male. The further you deviate from that ideal, the more suspect you become.

I worked harder on this book than any before it. My ex-publisher then failed to pay me what they owed me for it & did their best to ruin its chances of survival. That robbed me of a year of my life & ruined my health. After all that, to see reviews like this one brings me close to tears too.

Realising that you’re autistic can bring such clarity. You can now make sense of your life. You finally have answers But it can also be disorienting and trigger feelings of grief. You spent your whole life misunderstood. Trying to be someone else It takes time to unpack all that. And that’s ok ❤️
