With diary entries written by 11-year-old Libby Scott, based on her own experiences of autism, this pioneering book, written in collaboration with esteemed author Rebecca Westcott, has been widely praised for its realistic portrayal of autism.

Tally is 11 years old, and she's just like her friends. Well, sometimes she is. If she tries really hard to be. Because there's something that makes Tally not the same as her friends. Something she can't cover up, no matter how hard she tries: Tally is autistic.

Tally's autism means there are things that bother her even though she wishes they didn't. It means that some people misunderstand her and feel frustrated by her.

People think that because Tally's autistic, she doesn't realise what they're thinking, but Tally sees and hears - and notices - all of it. And, honestly? That's not the easiest thing to live with.

Endearing, insightful and warmly uplifting, Can You See Me? is a story of autism, empathy and kindness that will touch listeners of all ages.

I loved this book. The story and perspective were wonderful. I think this should be required reading for all neurologically typical people, but especially teachers and family members of neurologically divergent people. Middle schoolers would probably really enjoy this book because it’s written by someone their age, which is amazing, and it makes the book and situations very relevant. My middle school self would have loved this book. The authors made every character SO relatable and I wish it had been around for me to read when I was younger. I loved it. My NT 7 year old loved it. My autistic 6 year old had no comment, but he did dabble with a British accent after listening:)
I highly recommend this book!

I wanted to treat it before I gave it to my daughter, in case there's any negative messaging about pda. and there is, at first, but it's resolved at the end. so it's realistic about the impact and struggles of PDA, but also points out the positives, and they still to outweigh the negatives by the end. I think it might be empowering for my daughter, and I know it will at least be validating. I can't wait to share it with her!

this is such a great book about a PDA autistic kid

Although the book is amazing, Tally’s parents really need to do a better job to help her get through life. A suggestion is to talk to the school and write a special guide to the principal to pass on to all students. Awesome book but more detail has to be established between Tally and her parents.

Great But One Thing

Believable- This is a great depiction of PDA/autism and school trauma. If only all school situations could be sorted this easily.
