Alisa Ediger's Reviews > The Autistic Trans Guide to Life

The book would more aptly be named “an Austin adult’s guide to being trans” or something like that. It is really tailored to autistic folks just beginning their journey as trans or gender diverse. As a trans person who just found out I’m autistic, I was not the target audience here.

That aside, the book was decent. Good information and an optimistic perspective. At times repetitive and occasionally one paragraph would be followed by another on an entirely different topic with little to no transition. That caught me off guard. Perhaps sometimes I was not taking the mental leap with the authors.

I do think this book does a good job of sharing the perspective and experience of older trans autistics - which is one that I haven’t heard often despite being in both the trans and autistic communities.
