Review:
This wasn't exactly what I expected. I really liked Ollerton's part in Sensory: Life on the Spectrum and was therefore looking forward to reading this. I recognized one or two comics from that collection in this one.
Unfortunately, for some reason the flow in this was really bad, and reading the volume straight through felt like being pelted in the face with an almost insurmountable level of executive dysfunction, depression, burnout, and social anxiety.
Things get a bit more positive and hopeful by the end, but I could have used a few more rays of sunshine woven throughout the whole work. Lavender Clouds presents very little in the way of strategies for dealing with all of these negative feelings - they're basically just something to endure. Lots of folks will likely find this relatable, but be sure you're in a decent enough headspace before diving in.
