Description
M. That's what I'd like you to call me please. I'll tell you why later.
Welcome to M's world. It's tipsy-turvy, sweet and sour, and the beast of anxiety lurks outside classrooms ready to pounce. M just wants to be like other teenagers her age who always know what to say and what to do. So why does it feel like she lives on a different plane of existence to everyone else?
Written by the students of Limpsfield Grange, a school for girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder with communication and interaction difficulties, M is for Autism draws on real life experiences to create a heartfelt and humorous novel that captures the highs and lows of being different in a world of normal.

This is a superb book, which I will be encouraging teaching staff, parents and teenagers to read.
Imagine being a teenager who strives to fit in, but is gripped by anxiety.... Imagine being a parent who has spent a decade trying to understand and support her child and get a diagnosis for her unusual behaviours.... The actions and attitudes of classmates, teachers and health professionals impact so much on the family of a young person with Autism Spectrum Disorder and these are so well shown in this short novel.
Illustrated by autistic students, we see inside the life that they experience. I urge you to read this book.
