BUT EVERYONE FEELS THIS WAY - Reading and Reviewing Paige Layle's Book

Comments

I think a lot of the bullying can also be a bit in part because of sexism bc when I would do a blank mask before transitioning i was called a bitch but most people now just think im just a chill guy

my mom got me this book!! :) (i asked ofc, ive done/do majority of the research n follow all the nd influencers n everything yk, otherwise i wouldn’tve been diagnosed lol) i still havent gotten past the prologue/intro tbh but it was already rly good, i just been extremely burnt out and have to use the occasional tiniest amount of energy i ever have to work on my school work n chores and rarely ever can even engage in the hobbies i enjoy n things i WANT to do bc of how drained i am 90-99% of the time smh. maybe she has some tips for burnout in there, i mean thats esp why i got it too so like maybe i could learn from it and esp as a late diagnosed autistic girl that still hasnt started w any of the resources and programs she was supposed to after getting diagnosed (mainly bc of our INSANELY shitty insurance). anyways sorry lemme stfu before i accidentally end up making this a whole ahh essay as usual😭💀 point is i need to read n finish ts asap so i can finally watch this after n actually fully understand the context n relate/bond/reminisce (or wtv idk the word im looking for lol) over it fr🙏🙏

I read all the books you have reviewed back to back and I found this one the least relatable, but still interesting. I am older than Paige and I quite liked school (at least what I can remember). I found the academics quite easy and mostly got along well with teachers. When I read or hear about other people's school experience, I think that in my first class the group dynamic was kind of special. We were quite tight group and often did activities on breaks that everyone was participating or if there were smaller groups, they kept changing all the time. There weren't any set groups and no one was ostracised or bullied so I didn't struggle socially that much. In later years, someone kind of took me as her friend and I never cared much to socialize with anyone else. I always find it interesting to hear that you were certain there must be some kind of diagnosis for you, because I always just thought that I am a rubbish person meant to struggle through life and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Autism would explain whole lot of things, but I could just be bad at humaning 😅

Meg and Paige are my favorite creators. This was so fun to hear Meg's thoughts on Paige's book!

Sleeping with socks is a must, unless I'm really sweaty, but I tend to have cold feet so that's rare. I love these review videos. I wonder if you have considered Unmasking Autism by Devon Price? It's a masking deepdive and I found it really interesting.

No socks for me! And I actually enjoyed your fidgeting with the book. 📖 It was soothing. When someone else fidgets, I feel more calm like I don’t have to! I love sitting next to a wiggly kid at an event where I have to be still.

🌈 Only just got around to watching the video so sorry if it is too late to enter the giveaway now. I have not been having a good time lately and found listening to your review has helped me a little thank you Meg 😊

🌈 Also thank you for the sincere tone in this video, I am taking note that it's probably useless to tell moderately close people that I'm autistic and hope that it will encourage them to ask questions or research it to understand it better... (even if that strategy works with other things like when I tell them I'm trans ^^). Sometimes I need to be less optimistic and it's good to hear it from someone with a little more experience of the matter ^^
