Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I have written this book for many reasons. I wanted to answer the questions of adolescents, and help parents and carers understand them better. I also wanted to help professionals understand the many people who are similar to me. #2 There are many talented people in my family. Rachel is very sociable and popular, but she can also sing and draw. Sarah is a brilliant dancer, but she is also very quiet. Anna is a good writer, but she tries too hard to be grown up. #3 Joe, Ben, and their mother, Ruth, are all on the autism spectrum. They have all been affected by it in different ways. Joe has the wildest imagination of anyone I have ever met, and he is also autistic. Ben has problems with his senses and can be extremely difficult to understand.
