#ellemcnicoll — Public Fediverse posts

I feel quite spoiled for #autistic content and characters at the moment:

- I started watching #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo and I am LOVING it

- I found #ElleMcnicoll's brilliant #AKindOfSpark in the #library, and devoured it whole - the first #fiction #book
I've finished in years

- I (belatedly) read #HannahGadsby's article about her late-diagnosis #autism (whole sections of which I could apply to my own life with barely a word changed)

- I (very belatedly - only 10 years late) binge-watched #SomeGirls on #BBCIplayer and am already missing the characters - especially #ND Saz

Well done, world - keep it up!

@Prof_Meowmers My top 3 books by #ActuallyAutistic authors for those seeking clarity on whether they are #Autistic are:

1. Ten Steps to Nanette by #HannahGadsby
2. But You Don’t Look Autistic At All by #BiancaToeps
3. A Kind Of Spark by #ElleMcNicoll

My favourite is Hannah’s book, she goes into such minute detail about her Autistic experiences; everyone at the #Autistic BookClub loved it!
Also ‘A Kind Of Spark’ is brilliant, a condensed ‘What it feels like’ to be Autistic 🎯

@Kjun @bookstodon

5 books I'd recommend:
1. A Kind of Spark, #ElleMcNicoll - A book about difference & neurodivergence, brilliant!

2. Ten Steps to Nanette, #HannahGadsby - A searing autobiography of an #ActuallyAutistic woman.

3. But You Don't Look Autistic At All, #BiancaToeps The DSM criteria for #Autism from an #Autistic POV

4. A Man Called Ove, #FredrikBackman Emotional; #trauma & #neurodivergence.

5. Klara & The Sun, #KazuoIshiguro What does it mean to be human?
