I picked up this guide as I was walking through my local library. I was curious about it as I had never seen a book about about autism directed to young people. I wanted to see how the information was presented and also to see if I would learn anything new from it (I did). I had to smile, though, when I saw a sticker on this llibrary book that said, "Please do not write in this book". No one had.

I liked this book very much as it was powerful and supportive. It gave very positive vibes. It was meant as a workbook as there are chapters for readers to write how the information in each chapter pertains to him of her. This book is very gentle in tone. I would recommend it to readers of all ages.
Awesome things about being "awetistic", a book for children to get to know themselves and their autism in a fun and positive way. Includes information about telling other people about being autistic and coping with different situations.
