Can You See Me? by Libby Scott, Rebecca Westcott

faemorgan's review against another edition

5.0

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. :)

Papier/audio? Papier.
Herlezen: Ja.
Aanrader? Ja, absoluut. Wel wat aan de jonge kant (niet gek met een 11 jarige in de hoodrol).

This book is clearly written to give a voice to autism.  It is good but I’m generally not a fan of these teaching style novels.

again technically a children’s book but was a great read about being autistic and starting secondary school i feel like if i read something like this when i was 12 i might have started to understand myself more, will be reading the rest of the series!!!

Was a nice book but definitely aimed towards young teenagers which I didn't realise before reading, even so it was enjoyable and I would probably read it again in future
