Hey, I loved the book and I felt so connected to her character (except her job obviously). Just like her I’m too weird to fit among neurotypicals (vodsels) but also too different from my fellow aspies. Also my body is not the way I wish it was due to my backbone/posture issues. In the end I felt so so sorry for her and sometimes I wonder if my case will end the same. So close to finally living the life I want yet failing miserably once again. What are your feelings about that book/Isserley?

Never read it, but it sounds sad and worrisome. I don't think I would want to read something that increases my level of anxiety.
