Finished this absolute gem of a YA about an autistic teen navigating the absurdity of social rules and the messiness of life. It's pacey, very witty and some kind of wonderful. Loved it. #FindingPhoebe By Gavin Estence @andersenpress.bsky.social.

🧵 "If you interact w/ autistic people or autism research, remember when you interact with colleagues, see someone’s presentation, mentor a student, or teach a class – An autistic person can be in that room. 🫢 What are you doing to make their presence in that room less... Othering?"

Always good to check on sources of names and ideas. Especially in the world of autism research, there have been many under the radar groups and people who do a lot of work, and then for arbitrary reasons one person is credited.
