Selah has so many rules about how to be normal. She's trying so hard to hold it all in. One day, she snaps and lashes out, and everything changes. I thought this story did a good job of illustrating how "easy" it is for women-identified autistic people to pass as "normal" and how hard it can be for them to get diagnosed. I also think it illustrates some issues with schools and accommodations. I wanted to make some comments about charter versus public, but I'm not sure it's that simple.
