Dr. Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures and Visual Thinking

“Paige Layle’s book will be especially helpful to provide insight for women diagnosed with autism later in life.”

Eric Garcia, author of We’re Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation

"I had a hard time putting this book down and the few times I did were to nod in agreement. Paige Layle writes vividly about those parts of being autistic that aren't in any psychiatry text. The constant discomfort, the tidal wave emotions that overwhelm you at any moment. Paige's book offers a fuller picture of what autism looks like and furthermore, how to build a more accepting world for autistic people."

Wendy Walker, bestselling author of American Girl

"But Everyone Feels This Way is a poignant, brave, soul-bearing triumph! Whether neurotypical or divergent, Paige Layle's story will make you laugh, cry and think- but most important, it will give you a new lens for seeing yourself and others."

Sarah Kurchak, author of I Overcame My Autism and All I Got Was This Lousy Anxiety Disorder

“Frank and perceptive, But Everyone Feels This Way is a welcome addition to the growing autistic literary canon. I’ve long believed that autistic voices—not a single face or voice, but as many of us sharing our stories as possible—play a key role in the acceptance and celebration of autistic people. I’m very glad that Paige’s voice is among them.”

Kim Rhodes, actor and activist

“Paige writes with incredible insight, humor, and honesty about her autism and life. Her unique experience illustrates some universal truths and, as I read about her, I also learned about myself and my own autism. I am grateful for the gift of her voice."
