If you've ever felt different, out of place, like you don't fit in - this book is for you. 'This book is what I needed as a kid!

Buy it for your kids, your parents, your grandparents. Mostly buy it for yourself' - Holly Smale, author of the Geek Girl Series Honest, real and downright brilliant - Louise Gooding, author of Wonderfully Wired Brains Hi! My name is Abigail and Im autistic. But when I was a child I didnt know I was autistic. In fact - it wasnt until I was in my thirties that I discovered my neurodivergence and my life finally started to make sense. This book follows my journey of self discovery from childhood through adulthood, as I attempt to navigate the confusing world around me - a world predominantly built for neurotypical brains. In this book youll find: VERY IMPORTANT FACTS about neurodiversity, neurodivergence, autistic traits, autism and gender, sensory sensitivities, social communication, emotions, friendships, bullying, sensory overload, meltdowns, family, school, special interests, masking, puberty AND MORE VERY PERSONAL STORIES involving toilets, cats, poo, swimming pools, my ridiculous family, my slightly unusual way of trying to make friends, falling up the French stairs wearing a skirt, getting locked in a cinema overnight and MORE embarrassing (and often hilarious) moments like these PLUS TIPS for supporting the neurodivergent people in your life, advocating for your own needs as a neurodivergent person, and learning to embrace what makes you different.

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.
