Beschreibung:
Florida Frenz is the pen name of a high school student who kept a journal as a tool to figure out her emotions and how to read those of others. Diagnosed as retarded and autistic when she was two, Frenz worked intensively for many years with a team of autism and educational specialists. She's succeeded so well that in her new high school, she isn't identified as autistic or special needs and is even taking Advanced Placement classes.
Florida's sense of humor will delight and intrigue all who read this book. It's a great read for anyone learning to navigate the social maze of our society, "normal" humans as well as those who feel "alien" like Florida. Not only does this book provide fresh insight into the world of autism, it is also a valuable resource to all educators and families with children on the spectrum.It represents eight years of growth and self-exploration. There have been many books written about autistic people, but it is unusual to have one from the perspective of the autistic child. Florida's rare intelligence and willingness to be self-critical can open up a way of thinking to people in a way that has not been done before.
