Anything But Typical by Nora Raleigh Baskin
This book started out slow, but finished big. The main character is Jason. He lives at home with his brother and parents who love him completely. But Jason is different. Not only because he has Autism, but because he sees, hears and smells things that other people miss. And he feels in ways other people don't. He just can't show it.
But Jason can write. And Jason's writing changes his world. Try reading Anything but Typical. It will change the way you "see".
