Tara Martin's Reviews > We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation

I'm very glad I was able to read this book around a time when autism is being more openly talking about and hopefully more understood. This book was very easy to comprehend and did a wonderful job constantly stressing the importance of self-advocacy in any fight for justice. People with autism deserve to have their voices heard, no matter what that voice may be (verbal, non verbal, done with assistance). The author's background as a nonpartisan political journalist brought a very special tone to this book that I thoroughly enjoyed and made it very easy to follow.
One complaint is just that I wish it included a bit more discussion about the experiences of people with higher support needs. However, I did resonate with the overall discussions on life with disability and how the world needs to learn to provide accommodations rather than try to make the disabled out to be the problem.
