She doesn’t interact perfectly in any given situation, that’s reality, and relatable, but an opportunity will present itself. It’s an incredible feeling knowing that the next generation will grow up with so many positive neurodiverse characters to admire and learn from.

As such, whether you are little or large, autistic or not, Meesha makes friends is a great book for those who may be potentially anxious for an upcoming big event; like a new school year, or for those who could do with a beautifully illustrated reminder that, friendships or not, it’s okay to be content on your own. Arts and Crafts: A warm and affectionate look at the joys and difficulties of making and keeping friends, relating to others, and finding your place in the world. When Meesha reluctantly attends a party, she feels out of place, finding the environment noisy, chaotic and unpredictable. Retreating to a quiet corner to concentrate on her creations, she is startled when a boy approaches her and must summon all her courage to engage with him. Who or what was your biggest influence in deciding to become a writer? I just love making up stories and drawing pictures – it was inevitable. Not that I’d get published of course, but even if I hadn’t got published I’d still sit there coming up with ideas and writing them down. It’s just what I do. This is an excellent title to suggest for with who may not feel comfortable putting themselves out there - the rewards of taking the risk. It would be easy to make this story preachy; I did not feel that was the case here. A wonderful tool for counselors and therapists to add to their toolkits.
