Can You See Me?

by Libby Scott & Rebecca Westscott

Tally is eleven and wants to be just like her friends. Sometimes she is — if she tries really hard. But there’s one thing she can’t hide: Tally is autistic. Her autism makes some things harder, even when she wishes they weren’t. People often misunderstand her, assuming she doesn’t notice what’s going on around her. But Tally notices everything — and that can be the hardest part of all.
