It is written with such care, kindness and good humour about many of the insights into autistic life that would never feature in the DSM. - ****** Reader Review Im so happy this book exists. Its laugh-out-loud funny, warm and wise. Abigail Balfe is like the fun but ultimately responsible and trustworthy big sister all autistic kids need in their lives. ***** Reader Review This helped me feel seen and heard as a late dx'd adult. My local autism services now recommend this book to newly diagnosed people as it is easy to digest with lots of personal anecdotes as well as facts about autism written in an easy to understand way. ****** Reader Review Although I dont have Autism, I do have ADHD. If you are familiar with ADHD, you may or may not know that a lot of ADHD symptoms overlap with autism. I instantly felt a connection with Abigail, her brain ticks like mine, and its fantastic! I wish little me who struggled growing up, had this book to read. I instantly felt like someone else understands me without having to say anything ****** Reader Review. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
