Autism and Capitalism coexist, but they are in diametric opposition to one another. One wonders if Autism would be considered a disorder at all in a world not so obsessed with "sell, sell, sell" as a collective mantra. In this candid memoir, Ty Unglebower looks back on his life, both before and after his late diagnosis with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and how a world that refused to understand his uniquenesses obstructed, confused and bullied him into a loss of confidence, followed by failure after failure to succeed in a culture of endless self-promotion. Though the answers continue to elude him to this day, Ty offers not a solution, but something almost as vital: companionship and a shared point of reference with others, like you, who may have found yourself unjustly kept from what is rightly yours as a person in this world, all because of a neurotypical culture's refusal to accommodate your particular needs. By telling the story of his childhood, adolescence and adulthood through this lens, and tearing apart some of the most hackneyed and ineffective self-help advice people on the Spectrum receive daily, the author reminds the Autistic reader that their life's difficulties may not be quite as uncommon, or dismissed as they fear.
