Can You See Me was an insightful and uplifting story. I have never read a book about autism (not that I can remember), so this really made me think about it and made me want to learn more about it. I was looking forward to reading Tally's diary entries in each chapter, and I loved the Taylor Swift References! Hope I can read the entire series...

Oh this book made my heart happy ❤️ It came highly recommended by another teacher who had read it to their class and said that it totally changed how they treated one of their autistic peers, so I already had pretty high expectations.
It met them all! It’s such a wonderfully simple yet effective recount into the world of Tally, an autistic girl, as she starts secondary school. The book switches between a third person narrative and Tally’s diary entries, which offer the reader an insight into how she is feeling and provides facts, pros and cons about being autistic.
It made me smile; it made me cry; it made me frustrated at times. It helped me to understand more about how I can support the autistic children that I teach. I know that it will do the same with other children in my class so I’ll definitely be reading it to them. It’s a great way to invite discussion about the transition into secondary school in general, and to encourage people to be more accepting towards others.
It might be a children’s book, but I think it’s a must-read for everyone. ⭐️5/5⭐️

I've found another book that made me cry/ tear-up. Reading book was both eye-opening, emotional and felt personal. I am autistic and I was bullied, but never to that full degree and the aftermath of people finding out I was autistic, didn't really end well. I was still always the outcast, being misunderstood. I found a lot of points that I could relate to and I wish I confidence to stand out and be brave. Even though I already stand out. :)
