Can You See Me? by Libby Scott, Rebecca Westcott

5.0

"Actually, the more I think about it, the more I reckon that a lot of the cons of autism are not really caused by autism but by how other people react to it."

Tally is an 11 year old girl struggling with the concept of being “normal”. She has autism, and through this wee narrative and her diary entries we get a glimpse at the complexities of being on the spectrum as a child. Her family and friends usually try their hardest and this book captures the genuine ups and downs of this journey as part of the support network for Tally as she navigates the already complicated world of being a tweenager.

Libby Scott is an angel on earth. What an amazing girl who opened up to the world with this co-collaboration, which is genuinely insightful and extremely heart wrenching at times.

I think every human being should read this book.
