"As an award-winning young autism advocate and mentor who happens to be autistic, dyslexic and dyspraxic (not to mention also having ADHD), who better to speak to peers about being different?... The book also discusses important and often confusing topics, such as masking, disclosure, self-harming, friendships, and bullying, When I was an isolated and lonely spectrum girl, oh how I sorely needed a voice to say 'You are not alone.'" — Kimberly Gerry Tucker, The Art of Autism
