Anything But Typical by Nora Raleigh Baskin is a work of young adult fiction and the winner of the Schneider Family Book Award. The novel is told from the perspective of a twelve-year-old boy with autism as he navigates the world of "neurotypicals." It begins:"Most people like to talk in their own language.
...But more than talking in their own language, people like to hear things in a way they are most comfortable...so I will try to tell this story in that way.
...I not he. Me not him. Mine not his.
...I will try--
To tell my story in their language, in your language.
I am Jason Blake."
