Description
In this gem of a book, Dylan Emmons gives readers a wonderful insight into what it is like to grow up on the autism spectrum. Through learning about his diagnosis and his journey through school, this is most of all a human story written by a clearly extraordinary person and excellent writer. If you were under the misconception that children on the spectrum do not experience a rich emotional life, experience empathy or long for friendships, read this book and wonder at just how much is felt, observed, understood and can be achieved.
