Book Review: M is for Autism

M is for Autism is a book about a teenage girl with Autism written by teenage girls with Autism. The concept of this book is brilliant and the story is bravely and beautifully written.

If you've ever wondered about the struggle many kids experience when dealing with Autism, take a peek into the thoughts of M.  With complete honesty, she narrates the daily trials of desiring to be normal, feeling overwhelmed and anxious about unexpected situations, and trying to figure out who she is.

This book is appropriate for older children, teens, and adults - I highly recommend it to all three groups. It may be a quick read, but will have a deep impact on how the reader views those who struggle with Autism.

Congratulations to the students of Limpsfield Grange School and Vicky Martin for a job well done in writing this book. May your message and cause see great success and recognition!
