Miya knew that she was different from everyone else. From struggling to fit in at school to dealing with an abusive home life, Miya became convinced that she was nothing but a potato who would never belong. But as Miya began to understand her neurodivergence and the God Who had created her perfectly in His image, she soon came to realize that she was created for so much more than what she envisioned in an online world of gaming and anime.
Through the painful retelling of her own journey to faith and accepting her autism diagnosis, Miya hopes to encourage others who struggle through her own life experiences and to educate those who should come alongside them and show them Christ's love.
Whether you are someone struggling to fit in or someone who needs to learn to be more compassionate to others, you will be blessed to find God in the midst of life's messy circumstances and reminded to be a little bit kinder to people around you.
This book is a beautiful read, regardless of your faith, or lack of it. Miya's writing takes us into her world with painful honesty and eloquence. We accompany Miya through her autism diagnosis and her Christian faith, discovering as she did, how both are entwined and how learning over time about what both mean to her, have shaped who she is to today. I read this in one sitting, intrigued to know more. A great book.

With vivid words and a robust sense of humor, Miya Sae paints an informative and inspirational picture of the life of an autistic Christian. It's a treasure to see an individual who's so unapologetic about her faith and her differences. This wonderfully crafted memoir will have readers both giggling over the highly relatable scenarios and wiping away an empathetic tear. Inside these pages is Christianity and neurodivergence at its most pure and base form-no brain-bending theology or head-scratching terminology. It is simply a warm cup of coffee for the soul-mixtures of a bitter past, a flavorful transition, and the warmth of our Savior.

This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir allows readers to gain a better understanding of the neurodivergent world, as told through Miya Sae's experiences. Sae is authentically raw, and readers can clearly see God at work through the seasons of her life. The Autistic Whosoever will resonate with readers (neurodivergent and neurotypical alike) who may feel alone in their walk to discover how God can use their perceived weaknesses to accomplish His plans.

Miya Sae's memoir of her experience is a story of growth and challenges and a discourse of what one's faith means. She leans into her vulnerability in the hard moments, while deftly weaving in a touch of humor. For anyone who may have felt unseen at any point, this healing journey of embracing life and oneself is for you.
Judy Liu
author of The Vending Portal
The Autistic Whosoever is a wonderfully written, deeply personal journey through the author's life, touching on themes of pain, love, heartbreak, resilience, bravery, self-discovery, and the profound love of Christ. Sae offers powerful insight into what it's like to live with autism, urging us all to advocate for a more inclusive world, where every individual feels seen, valued, and accepted just as they are. God's goodness shines through every page of this soul-stirring story. A beautiful, brilliant read!
