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 (kind of) an 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,
heartwarming 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.

❝I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!!
So much of this book echoed my own experiences; reading it felt like walking through my own mind. the order of the stories, the artwork and definitions, just ... everything felt right.
This was an especially lovely experience because I finished Ellen Outside the Lines not that long ago and I feel like this would be a WONDERFUL companion book to Ellen.
Read this if you enjoy CG Drews' social media presence, Kelly Jensen's non fiction anthologies, and/or any Actually Autistic books!!!❞ - Kait Goodwin
