    Not easy to pin down... and that's good
  

*by A***C on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2013*

When I first approached No You Don't, I wasn't sure what to expect. I've read a number of autism memoirs, novels about us, and monographs that purported to tell "the story" of our condition, both as research for my own books and as a way of attempting to understand myself and my relationship to society as a whole. In every case, I have found other autism books to be missing some key element of the discussion, either because they try too hard to generalize from a few anecdotes to an entire population or because they reinforce the just-so stories that explain away the diversity of Autistic experience by reinforcing stereotypes about us.No You Don't cleverly avoids all of those things, and it does so without reveling in its own cleverness. Ms. Jones's series of essays are nuanced and detailed, and she is careful to highlight the ways in which her experience both does and does not reflect the conditions that other Autistics face. She discusses common problems without sweeping generalizations, confronts specific cases of abuse and brutality from her past, and narrates her path toward an understanding of her own situation with a disarming combination of humility and kindness that, in every case, thoroughly explained her perspective without dictating that others should automatically adopt it.If I had to try to pin down No You Don't to a certain genre or format, I would say that it is a book of skeptical essays that does not shrink from the task of reviewing lived experience and empirical evidence and contrasting it sharply against armchair theories and public perceptions. It is not only that, though. It is also a primer on patience and understanding, and a thoroughly enjoyable lesson about the importance of knowing oneself instead of defining oneself by the expectations of others.I come from a family that has a multi-generational history of neurodivergence. In one way or another, most of us have been touched by learning and developmental disabilities, neurological problems, and/or mental illness, and in Ms. Jones's essays I found not only echoes of myself, but of my mother, my sister, and my grandfather. It is a terribly important book, not just for people who are attempting to understand autism, but also for people who are feeling lost or alone due to any hidden disability, mental illness, or recent trauma. It is a book about hope that is not afraid to confront the darkness and name the shadows, and an object lesson in a market clogged with abstract morality tales.I can not recommend it strongly enough.

    read this!
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2016*

Wow. I thought I knew what autism was…until I read this book. Sparrow Rose has a wonderful way with the written word, and if you have any capacity for any human love at all, your soul will spill over with compassion for her as you read her heart-rending compositions.I believe everyone should read this book, because in this day and age, chances are good that one day each one of us will either meet someone who is somewhere on the autism spectrum, or will meet someone who knows someone who has that condition. I especially recommend this book to two groups of people.First, to educators at all levels. I used to be a school teacher, and am acutely aware of the huge gap in my education regarding the truth about conditions such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. I believe many Special Ed. teachers are lacking in this knowledge, as well.The second group to whom I specifically recommend this book is, of course, to parents of autistic children. If you have a child with ADHD, like I do, you will receive some insight into the workings of their brain, as well, since it shares the same root as autism.Sparrow Rose, I will be praying for you. You may have trouble believing in God, but God believes in you. :)

    beautiful book
  

*by A***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2013*

This is an amazing book, it helped me understand myself better as an autistic person, the author writes clearly about how autism is for her and for many of us, many things she described are similar to the way I experience things.It was painful to read about the abuse she suffered since like many autistics this was too close to me but she did write with a sense of hope and warning of how important this topic is.The most difficult parts to read was about friendships, a subjects that is too difficult, I was glad to read that is is not impossible for us to have relationships. It's something I never reached even by being able to read people better than other autistics, the key for it is hard to find but in this book we can see that is not impossible and have the example of the author's life.I was already a fan of the blog where I first saw her writing and the book can be even better to read.
