Being autistic and having a good understanding of your own authentic autistic self is as valuable a gift you could ever give yourself - and this wonderful, realistic, optimistic, artistic book is a resource that could aid you towards that glorious understanding of self that all autistic people deserve.--Dr Luke Beardon, Senior Lecturer in Autism, Sheffield Hallam University

An informative guide for young Autistic people wishing to understand themselves better. Written in Niamh's friendly and gentle tone, it's a safe companion for this important journey of self-discovery.--Claire O'Neill, Autistic author and teacher.

An exceptional resource. Accessible and easy to understand, this is a must read for autistic children (and for everyone else!). Looking at areas of strength and areas of challenge as a point of fact, Niamh and Bex both capture and affirm autistic experience beautifully. I can't recommend it enough.--Sharon McCarthy, Neurodivergent lecturer, advocate, author and parent

I absolutely loved this book. I think autistic kids will gain a great deal from reading this. It is strongly focussed on strengths and inclusion and supporting autistic kids to be proud of who they are. Highly recommended. --Yenn Purkis, Autistic advocate and author of books for autistic kids.

This terrific book explains what being autistic actually means. It's written with clarity, warmth and humour and the illustrations are exceptional.

A wonderful book that will help every child (and adult) understand what 'being autistic' means.
