O\'Neil\'s exploration of identity emphasizes how autistic individuals can truly thrive when their unique gifts (or quirks) are met with creativity and trust.
Peter O\'Neil\'s witty storytelling provides an easy-to-read call to action that bravely advocates for autistic and neurodivergent professionals.
