The beautiful, and beautifully illustrated, true story of one girl' s journey growing up autistic, and the challenges of navigating the ' normal' world around herI' m not like the other children in my class . . . and that' s an actual scientific FACT. Hi! My name is Abigail, and I' m autistic. But I didn' t know I was autistic until I was an adult-sort-of-person*. This is my true story of growing up in the confusing ' normal' world, all the while missing some Very Important Information about myself. There' ll be scary moments involving toilets and crowded trains, heart-warming tales of cats and pianos, and funny memories including my dad and a mysterious tub of ice cream. Along the way you' ll also find some Very Crucial Information about autism. If you' ve ever felt different, out of place, like you don' t fit in . . . this book is for you. Told through the author' s remarkable words, and just as remarkable illustrations, this is the book for those who' ve never felt quite right in the ' normal' world. Very important, very funny and very informative. This is the book the world needs right now.
