Same But Different: Teen Life on the Autism Express by Ryan Elizabeth Peete, Holly Robinson Peete, RJ Peete

2.75

fast-paced

---

Summer Reading: read like a fiction book, which was not what I was expecting. The twin sister character was honestly pretty bratty and annoying. And it's portraial of autism was very focused on one person's experinces so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who didn't have much prior knowledge of autism. Tbh, it felt like a weird memoir. So, I guess if you're looking for a quick read that focuses on an autistic teen's experience, this book would be for you, but I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone else (the autism rep isn't broad enough for someone just starting learning about autism, and if you have learned about autism before it would all be stuff you have heard already)
