wishing self-diagnosed neurodivergent people would read this 💔
The books does repeat the same arguments often. But I see better how capitalism is the root of oppression for disabled people and the need for a disabled movement that has more clear anti-capitalist goals (instead of proving disabled people are worthy of being exploited too). Not finishing only because my tbr is too long and I see myself more as dipping in and out of this book when I need to. Highly recommend though!

The Ableism is a constant for obvious reasons. There's talk of Eugenics and assisted suicide, which may be difficult topics for the reader, but I encourage you to read it.
