Anything But Typical

Anything But Typical by Nora Raleigh Baskin was a library shelf find. This book is about a boy with autism and is told through his point of view. The story is about how he handles his family, school, communication--and how he loves writing.

This book was very fun and enlightening to read. I have had experience with children and teenagers with autism, and I feel like this book gave a really interesting account of what a child with autism who has limited communication may be thinking. I really felt an understanding of this character and enjoyed his humor and experiences and felt for him when he couldn't express his feelings to those around him.
