About The Author

ABIGAIL BALFE is a Brighton-based writer, illustrator and creative producer. Original storytelling has always been at the heart of Abigail's career and she has spent a decade leading social media campaigns for some of the biggest TV & entertainment clients in the world. Abigail also used to perform stand-up comedy and won several tiny trophies for her onstage humor; which involved life-size illustrations, ridiculous songs and rambling stories about her family. 

"Heartfelt and insightful, this remarkable book has the potential to be life-changing, not only for adolescents with autism, but also for the people who care for them." —STARRED REVIEW, School Library Journal"Balfe's honesty . . . builds readers' trust, while the humor in the text and illustrations keeps them engaged." —New York Times"Useful and reassuring — and wrapped up in a charming, cutely illustrated package." —Kirkus Reviews"Balfe has found a tone and vocabulary with which to discuss her neurodivergent experience that feels accessible but not childish, and I would be inclined to give this book . . . to any tweens in my orbit." —Xtra Magazine
