Have you read this manga, "My brain is different…"?

I’m not sure if this post belongs to this section.

After my diagnosis, I found this recommendation on Reddit. The complete title is "My brain is different: Stories of ADHD and other developmental disorders". The artist is a Japanese woman called Monzusu (artistic name) who realized she had ADHD after her first son was diagnosed with it.
This manga is an anthology of the experience of many ND people. Although the title in English says «ADHD», most of the stories are about ASD.

From my point of view, most of the autism cases in this book are mild, what makes me wonder if the diagnostic criteria in Japan, which is a high-context society, is very strict or not.

I felt very related to most of them —I have a mild ASD and a mild ADHD—, specially with the story of Tarou-kun, it remembers me my childhood.

Have you already read this manga? What is your opinion about it?
