Just the book I needed
I read most of this in a single sitting, I couldn’t put it down, nor did I want to. The story takes place over a weekend at a convention, so it is fairly fast paced. There are two alternating perspectives, Taylor and Charlie, both were wonderfully written. I really related to them, especially Taylor who is an introvert, who struggles with anxiety, also she has autism. A lot of what she said really spoke to me, this book is just really well written and I fully recommend it.

This is strange book. It talks about autism child. It goe really is a novel about a boy that has Asperger Syndrome. It has goes though the life of a boy that has Asperger Syndrome and he has younger brother.

Jacob is accused of murder and they end of going to trail and Jacob acts out and has outburst and everyone doe not understand this quirks. They find out what really happens at the end of the story. Emma is franstic and try to explain about her son condition.
  
Easy read - each chapter is relative to a trait or “issue” with concise thoughts and insights that can be really useful if living or working with autistic people. (2 more)
Thought provoking and moving in ways I hadn’t anticipated.
A book I can share with my eldest daughter and other family members in the hope they can make connections or learn how to better interact with my youngest autistic daughter.
Nothing this book can solve - I’d just like a female perspective too as female autism has other traits and separate difficulties. (0 more)
Insightful!
