M Is for Autism: The Teenage Girl's Guide to Autism,… de Vicky Martin
Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
Life after diagnosis is not easy for M but this book will be fascinating reading for teenage girls, their parents and teachers.
I found out about this book through the UK TV Documentary "Girls with Autism" which follows several of the students of Limpsfileld Grange School (a specialist UK school for girls with autism) in their daily school and personal lives. This book was written as a collective writing project by the school students with their writing teacher.
The book follows the girl M, which is her own name for herself (the reason is explained early in the book) as she is adjusting to life as a teenager while awaiting a diagnosis of whether or not she is autistic. So the tension and drama of the story does not take place in the actual Limpsfield School situation but rather in a more uncertain world outside of that which was likely based on the combined collective experiences of the girls writing it.
Highly recommended esp. for those interested in the subjects of autism, aspergers, the spectrum etc. but it is also not really that much of a stretch when you think about the difficulties all teenagers face while learning to adapt and fit into the world.… (més)
