        This book immediately captures you, after a few pages, and it gives you a sense of how it feels, being diagnosed with autism, and it gives you a different perspective of autistic people. I give this book a 10/10, because the conflict and the plot work very well together to explore the theme, which is decoding and learning to adapt.
