The binding on this thing is awful. About every 5 pages is not even attached to the spine, at least in my copy. But I think this is a print on demand product so the printing company could just be switched and the issue would resolve, I hope. So I only docked 1 star because imo the product is the ideas inside, not the format of print, and the ideas are ok so far.I'm on page 84, so about halfway through, and I bought the softcover. The book is mostly anecdoctal stories and there is a lot of preface and then a short answer for each subject. Dr. Tony Attwood recommended this book among others during a speech on safety for women with asperger's/autism, so from that recommendation I thought there would be more about safety as a woman around men specifically, or other dangerous figures out and about in those uncomfortable situations that happen excessively and unexpectedly and cause lasting harm, just from his introduction of the topic at the particular moment he put this book on screen, but that apparently was incorrect and the book only addresses that for a brief section of a chapter. I came in expecting more of a specific "how to not be tricked by predators" entire book, but like I said, that section was just a few pages. This is way more generalized to "functioning as an aspie woman" than I expected, so I am just reading it for fun rather than info at this point.It is a quick, light read and is written in a conversational style. Most of the anecdotes are really uncomfortable for me to read which was unexpected especially because the topics seem so light and not greatly detailed, but that is just me personally and none of it made me break into tears or "bubble over" in any way. But I did start to skim most anecdotes around chapter 5. Overall many of the tips are a lot of stuff I've already figured out as a high masking late diagnosed person, but for example, reading that some topics NT people never want to talk about are the regular politics, finances, and religion but also past relationships (??? I don't know if this is right because people seem to really love harping on their exes and recounting their recent breakups in detail, as in "trauma dump," and explain their fairly recent but "past" dating experiences without me asking... but idk) and trauma (ok, to be expected) or fears (??? my opening line for socializing with new people in a moment of awkward silence where they are staring at me expectantly is "so... what is your greatest fear in the whole wide world?"... facepalm) and that NT people are always happy to talk about the weather, sports, tv/entertainment, and current events... (ok so, small talk) but also light academics such as science. So out of those options, I guess my new opener will be whatever the top current events are in easily digestible science advancements that are common knowledge or something.... oof!!!! I already don't like that as much as asking about their childhood monster under the bed.Here is an example of how there is a lot of anecdotal preface that I did not expect. Chapter 2 Falling Prey goes from page 34-47 and addresses dating, friendships, and bullying (so this is the section I bought the book for I guess). Page 34-39 is an anecdotal story leading up to a subsection titled "'bullied no more' supports" which then defines bullying, has more anecdotal preface, lists 7 bullet point ideas of what bullying looks like so it can be identified, presents more preface, and then lists 6 bullet points of ideas on page 42 that can be implemented to prevent or stop bullying from happening so often. Then Chapter 2 goes into friendships and bullying from 43-47 in the same format but shorter.
