Hello fellow autistic people, I thought I would recommend this brilliant book by Nick Walker. It’s about the neurodiversity paradigm and autistic culture, it is basically a collection of her essays on these subjects.
I hope this interests you and you enjoy the book as much as I do!

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm intrigued. Now just need to be able to quell the onslaught of ADHD distractions to allow me to start & finish it.
I'll let you know how it goes
You are very welcome. Hopefully you will find that the book entices your dopamine seeking ADHD brain enough to avoid any distractions.
It’s a great book to hyper focus on and make detailed notes.
I hope you enjoy it!
I look forward to chatting to you about your thoughts on the book.
I have the book, it just arrived. Being unfamiliar with the term neuroqueer, I flicked to that section, and I'm afraid it was so confusingly written I am going to have to try again.
Is it only relevant to those who identify as queer from the LGBT community?

I thought that too initially but neuroqueer actually is defined as liberating yourself from act of neuronormativity. Similar to unmasking, I think.
Hopefully this definition makes more sense to you as you read on.
