As an autistic person, I felt very seen in this book. Like the author, I too have many experiences of people getting angry at me for not having the facial expression/emotional reaction that they expect in a given situation. I felt the frustration of the author as she tried her best to be honest and fit in, yet people still made assumptions about her and tried to use her. Overall, I thought the book was well written and often hilarious. I highly recommend it.

However, I can't help but feel a little... off about the whole thing. At some point around 50%, I started getting the feeling that was a bit... weird. I couldn't help but feel like I was being manipulated. That I wasn't getting the full truth. Then a delve into the internet to try to find out more about Patric came up pretty empty. I'm ok with writing under a pseudonym and disguising details, but when the topic is sociopathy... It just left me uneasy.
This isn't to say that the memoir wasn't well-written or interesting. I really did enjoy it. I just also have to take it with a grain of salt.
