As a late diagnosed Autistic, this is the book younger me needed. I laughed and cried within pages of each other.

Good book that talks a lot about Autism, but the plot wasn't strong enough. I liked the witches storyline, but that was it? Kinda needed the book to have a bit more plot and to be more engaging or fun.
