Middle School: The Stuff Nobody Tells You About

Middle school is an intimidating time for most students, but for students with autism spectrum disorder, it can be a veritable minefield of hidden curriculum rules, social misunderstandings and cliques – and that’s before they even get to the academics! In Middle School – The Stuff Nobody Tells You About: A Teenage Girl With High-Functioning Autism Shares Her Experiences, a teenager with high-functioning autism relates her own experiences in middle school. Aimed at young teens, this resource tackles the issues that girls this age care about: fitting in, making friends, wearing the right clothes, succeeding academically and more. The book’s “for teens, by teens” approach makes it an easy, fun read while giving readers practical tips that they can use in their everyday lives. The author – already an accomplished artist – also illustrated the book. Preface by Susan J. Moreno. Foreword by Diane Adreon, PhD.
