The Autistic Girl's School Survival Guide is fantastic; easy to read; clear and relatable. It's packed full of tips that are easy to implement; a real go to guide.
As I was reading this all I could visualise was a beautiful autistic gemstone that my brain had invented; and that gemstone is called Gracie Barlow. This books shines - just like Gracie's personality - and is so full of wisdom and, excuse the pun, grace that it should be compulsory reading for anyone who has the remotest interest in creating safe and positive spaces for autistic young people.
