The media could not be loaded. She tells life as it is through her diary entries. Libby is amazing. What could go wrong?

Totally recommend this book We really could do with more books like this, so that stories from all over are illuminated for all to see. From a parents point of view it seems really odd that Tally's parents didn't informed the school about her diagnosis and had the extra support in place for her getting around the school and avoiding sensory overloads and making her life that little easier with the transition from primary to secondary school.

I'm looking forward to my daughter learning to read better as I will be saving this for her and I think she will really enjoy this and can relate so much. Autistic and starting secondary school. My daughter is 9 and just been diagnosed with ASD, Her brother 8 has ASD and Tourettes, they are both so different, I came across this while looking for other books so support my daughter with Understanding how Autism effects her and help her understand its a gift not a burden. Other then that it was a lovely book to help understand PDA from a child's point of view and a lovely story about how hard school is for any child and the extra difficulties of a girl with Autism as they are so different to how boys display.
