Hi I'm Jules,
I read a lot of disability related more academic stuff, anarchism and whatever else looks interesting or helpful. And then mostly queer fantasy, science fiction / speculative fiction to relax.
I read mostly e-books for accessibility reasons. So if you're interested in a book on my lists, just send me a DM. I can point you to sources or just send it over.
I'm also @queering_space@weirder.earth

I like the post/colonial setting and how it's really the main topic for the book and the characters, not just some side note. But also... what a tough choice to try and make a love story work between those two. It's really hard to watch.
I was in the mood for picking this one back up today and it's nice how the first book and the beginning of this one apparently left enough of an impression for me to immediately remember all the names and places even though I read a bunch of other books in the meantime.

Well, I was quite annoyed by big parts and aspects of this book.
But it was a good opportunity to reflect more on the un-masking topic and there are some helpful thoughts and perspectives on the topic in this book. So it was worth it for that.
I didn't need all the introduction to autism and political demands and coaching tone and generalizations though.
It is, again, a very American book. Which I often find annoying. So there's no surprise there.
It's still worth reading. I just wish it would have been just the scientifically backed deep dive into the masking topic without all the add-ons and decorations.
It's worth reading, yeah. As always, we all get different things out of different aspects of books and I don't like all of it. But this one has many good thoughts and explanations for sure.

Radical visibility is self-advocacy, as well as self-expression. But for most masked Autistic people, it’s downright terrifying to stand up for yourself. We tend to default to people pleasing, smiling, and laughing uncomfortably through social difficulty, and to do so in such a reflexive way that it’s as if our true feelings and preferences disappear when other people are around. These reflexes exist to protect us, and there is no shame in having them. However, if we wish to live more freely, we need to cultivate relationships where we can communicate honestly and feel heard and respected. The next chapter is all about constructing Autistic relationships that help us to thrive. By this, I mean forming meaningful relationships and a sense of community with fellow Autistic people, as well as making our existing relationships with allistic people far more Autism-friendly.
