[this was a short book, it had the potential to be an adults full read. but that is not what is. its short, comforting, it suffered from feeling repetitive as i read its cousin minutes before ]

[of the two i enjoyed its small town feeling, touching on subjects close to my heart. i would read a whole novel of the way an #autistic persons empathy and identity can mould itself to accept and be shaped by a new absorbing interest ]

A Kind Of Spark by #ElleMcNicoll was short, so it's #Page1 and a #bookreview together! I originally saw it recommended by @autisticbookclub. The very first line hooked me, as I was also chastised for bad handwriting in school. I'm finding that reading children's books with #autistic characters helps me reframe some of these past experiences. And I absolutely loved the parallels drawn with #witches and #sharks!
