oursuburbanfarm's review against another edition
3.0
I LOVED being able to get in the head of an autistic child. I also really enjoyed thinking about the perspective of an autistic author and his perspective on his childhood (even if he says it is not completely based on his home life). Some parts of it, however, just did not sit right with me and made it hard to completely get into the story.

I am constantly saying that I wish I could spend a day inside the heads of my students with autism. This book offers just that.
