Anything But Typical by Nora Raleigh Baskin

Jason Blake, a 12-year-old austic boy, relates the disturbing experience of life in a neurotypical world. I know very little about autism, so this works as an informative narrative as well as a story that gets under your skin. May make a good nominee for the Schneider Family Book Award, that honors an author for the artistic expression of the disability experience for children and teens.
