![]() ![]() The author constantly says things like 'My guess is that lots of Autistic people.", "All people with Autism feel the same about.", "People with Autism always." - it really isn't helpful to the reader trying to get an insight into people with Autism as it portrays us all the same. While it might be useful for those who either live with or work with someone with this kind of Autism, it isn't especially helpful for many others. ![]() ![]() It is only when you find a section about the author that you realise the author has severe Autism. The description on here simply refers to it being written by a child with Autism. The author consistently comments that "Us people with Autism", & this fails to get across to the reader that Autism is a Spectrum, with different 'challenges' (for want of a better word) across the levels of it. Some parts were relatable, but I found some parts uneasy to read. I have probably read a dozen books, either about Autism or with an Autistic character, & by far this is the worst I've read. I had this recommended to me, so thought I'd give it a try. As an Autistic adult who works with children, I'm always looking for different books about Autism. ![]()
