If I had been given this book as a teenager, I'd have discovered I am autistic a lot sooner and potentially saved a lot of stress and unhappiness. The Secrets of My Spectrum offers a one-of-a-kind insight into the Autism Spectrum —written by a sixteen-year-old. I was 16 and wanted to help other kids like me to know they’re not alone and give them something to show their parents. With honesty and forthrightness, The Secrets of My Spectrum explores the challenges—and the great gifts—that come with living on the spectrum. Wishing others understood more about the challenges of being on the spectrum, the teen shares his insights, perceptions, reactions, and experiences, from the triggers that lead to anxiety and shutdowns to tips for coping with stressful situations such as travelling, socialising, and communicating.I particularly liked the part you mentioned about describing model cars, with headlights etc, being on realistic roads following the Highway Code. Having an Autistic child myself, it helps me to better understand her thought process and how to possibly help her deal with them better. I like how it's got someone's personal life and experiences in it to help others understand that they're never alone and not the only one going through it. She thought I'd find it interesting as she found it enlightening (even with all her existing knowledge about ASD) and we have wondered for a little while whether I would qualify for a diagnosis of ASD.

Every page is a part of this young man's life opened up before us that will resonate with every teenager who has Autism and help them to know that they are not alone. At 16 I wanted to help other kids like me to know they’re not alone and give them something to show their parents if they're not feeling able to explain their struggles. This really helps see things from his point of view to help understand some things he struggles with too, and has already got me thinking about possible triggers he will have for GCSE exams and college interviews etc. Written by a 16 year old, told in their own words, to give such an inspiring and heart warming perspective of their life and autism. This book was written in plain English, and very much from the perspective of actual personal situations.I found I could relate very strongly to a majority of the passages in the book, both in my life currently and from my childhood.
