I was reccomended a book a few weeks ago but I lost the peice of paper that I wrote the name on!
Its written by an autistic boy with asberger's syndrom. He is telling how he sees the world. I think it is fairly new. I think the title had something about the sky being blue. Sorry I don't have anymore details. Can anyone help?
