Balfe, A. (2022). A different kind of normal: My real-life completely true story about being unique. Crown Books for Young Readers.
Genre: Middle Grade Narrative Nonfiction
This book is partially a memoir and partially an Autism guidebook. Throughout the book, Abigail Balfe talks about her life being undiagnosed with autism and what she has learned about herself after getting diagnosed. Balke talks about the ins and outs of autism including sensory sensitivities, special interests, and social issues. With all of these topics, Balfe interlaces them all with her own personal life. She talks about how she will shut down in situations where her senses overwhelm her, about how she may react inappropriately in certain situations, and lists her own special interests.
