What do you think when you hear or see the word "autism"? Really, most people have incorrect views and ideas on what it is but there is one example of a book series "Can You See Me" which has an authentic delve into the world of autism which we will review: 

The four novels written as part of the book series follows the story of 10-12 year old fictional character Tally Adams who has autism and her navigation throughout school and life in general. 

Co-written by Libby Scott and Rebecca Westcott, the books are based on Libby's own experience of her being autistic and shows the true and authentic reality on how autism works and contribute to the removal of some harmful stereotypes that unfortunately still currently exist.

This is all shown through one girl's perspective of being autistic (as well as some other characters featured in the stories who also have the condition). 

What makes this book series unique and well-worth a read is due to the fact that autism is still often misunderstood and as a result those who are autistic do not get the help they deserve whether it is about dealing with sensory overload or with the "too many demands" placed on them. 

However, all four novels present the truth of all of these challenges in great detail and provide brilliant answers on how to provide the right support for those with this condition and help to make the world a better place for them.

Autistic people have to deal with a whole host of challenges that those who are not (neurotypical) don't. 

This brings to another reason why "Can You See Me" is important: it helps readers with autism feel seen and represented unlike in most books. 

Approximately, four in every hundred people have autism and may be even higher so it is extremely important to have them portrayed in the media: not just books but in movies and TV shows as well. 

Although "Can You See Me" is primarily aimed at a slightly younger audience- it can be found in the children's section in bookstores and libraries- it still relevant to slightly older readers and is definitely a must-read for anyone with autism finding their "tribe" and those who desire to see them in a clearer and more accurate way.

In conclusion, "Can You See Me'' is a brilliant book series that will transform what you will think about autism and I hope more books like this one will be published in the future.
