Gr 6 Up-Rose is like most teens-she has to contend with family, friends, school, and personal dreams. But unlike most teens, she is one of the two million Americans with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Now a college student, Rose has written a guide for other teens with ASD. In 50 short essays, she shares her life experiences on a variety of topics, such as balancing work, school, and friends; saying "no"; talking about feelings; and living with autism. The tone is inviting, upbeat, and very friendly. Sections dedicated to autism visibility in the media, stress management, and coping add a complexity to the work necessary for readers who often find themselves in difficult situations. Easy to digest and life-affirming, Rose's honest narrative will resonate with readers.
