In this joyfully illustrated memoir, author-illustrator Abigail Balfe
recounts her journey growing up autistic and the challenges of
navigating the "normal" world around her.
"Hi! My name is Abigail, and I'm autistic. But I didn't know I was autistic until I was a (kind of) adult. This is my true story of growing up in the confusing 'normal' world, all the while missing some Very Important Information about myself.
"There'll be scary moments involving toilets and crowded trains,
heart-warming tales of cats and pianos, and funny memories including my dad and a mysterious tub of ice cream. Along the way you'll also find some Very Crucial Information about autism."
Important, funny, and completely unique, this book is for anyone who has ever felt different.
