In this joyfully illustrated memoir, Abigail Balfe recounts her journey growing up autistic and the challenges of navigating the "normal" world around her. This is a perfect book for both neurodivergent and neurotypical kids to learn more about neurodiversity.

When Abigail was growing up, she was missing Very Important Information about herself. The information? That Abigail is autistic! In fact, Abigail didn't know she was autistic until she was (kind of) an adult.

This is Abigail's story about what it was like growing up autistic in a confusing "normal" world. With entertaining anecdotes and funny accompanying illustrations, Abigail details her experiences and explains some Very Crucial Information about autism. And about neurodiversity too-- a word that celebrates the importance of all brain types!

Essential, funny, and completely unique, this book is for anyone who has ever felt different.
