  • Motor skills and awkwardness
  • Stress-management
  • Bullying
  • Socializing and friendships
  • Dating and relationships

I liked the book for my ten year old who has some like qualities that make me feel she may be border on the spectrum.
There was some great advice. I just wish there had been more. I liked the humor and mostly positive message although it did seem to, at times, become a platform to air certain grievances about a teacher or person.

Good advice but light on
