Chronicle During Books Anything But Typical

Jason Blake is an autistic 12-year-old living in a neurotypical world. Most days it’s just a matter of time before something goes wrong. But Jason finds a glimmer of understanding when he comes across PhoenixBird, who posts stories to the same online site as he does.

Jason can be himself when he writes and he thinks that PhoenixBird — her name is Rebecca — could be his first real friend. But as desperate as Jason is to meet her, he’s terrified that if they do meet, Rebecca will only see his autism and not who Jason really is.

By acclaimed writer Nora Raleigh Baskin, this is the breathtaking depiction of an autistic boy’s struggles—and a story for anyone who has ever worried about fitting in.

Notice Out Of Books Anything But Typical

My confession is that as a father of two boys on the spectrum that I seem to be particularly hard on books about kids with autism. I think this seems on the surface ungenerous and working against the kind of solidarity one hopes for in the autism community. But here we go: I listened to this book and disliked the reader, so that's not Baskin's fault. I thought overall that it was fine.A book about an atypical neurological condition called Anything But Typical (meaning that the main boy

Oh my god! I love this book!! Such a good book to end my 2016!I love how Jason used writing as his coping mechanism.I loveeeee the ending. <3

Reviewed by LadyJay for TeensReadToo.comJason is different from other 6th-graders. He loves routine, hates noisy, overcrowded places, and constantly reminds himself to breathe. He is obviously not like other NT's (neurotypicals), the so-called "normal" people in the world. The NT's say things, but nothing is ever behind the words. Jason doesn't understand why people talk and never mean what they say. This is why he doesn't look at anyone. Jason gets distracted by faces - the way they morph when

I know this story is mostly about Jason, about how he deals with his autism, but to me the real strength of this story lies in the minor characters.Jason's dad nearly made me cry more than once, because he knows his son has his own way to communicate and just because his way is different doesn't mean it's bad different. He's always supporting his son, making sure that everybody understands that Jason isn't stupid.Jeremy, Jason's little brother, was absolutely adorable, I just wanted to hug him

I really enjoy books about characters on the spectrum (I am on the spectrum myself). I thoroughly enjoyed The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Rules, Marcelo in the Real World, and 600 Hours of Edward (I particularly enjoyed those last two). So you could say that I had pretty high hopes for Anything But Typical, but unfortunately I was disappointed. Without giving anything away, I'll just say that the ending was a dud. It didn't really resolve anything which really annoyed me.

I've always wondered how an autistic person feels all the time. Do they think the same thoughts as we do? Have the same wants? What does it feel like to be autistic? These questions were a few of many. And after reading this book, Anything but Typical, it let me inside an autistic person's head for a short 195 pages, but it was unquestionably worth it. Jason Blake is an autistic twelve-year-old trying to struggle through middle school. Naturally he has more troubles than your average student.

Ok, first of all, this may be my favorite book cover of all time. I have a strong desire to like this book for that reason.The text is an account of a 12-year-old boy named Jason with autism. It's from inside his head, and communicates the struggles he has to connect with his family, strangers, and society. I particularly liked the explanation about clothing choices. Baskin does a nice thing making Jason's obsession letters and words instead of numbers, so that Jason is a talented writer. It's a
