It's not a perfect world, but I'll take it is a guide to life according to Jennifer Rose, a young adult on the autism spectrum. Rose is a college student working toward a degree in writing who decided to share her life lessons with other teens with autism who may be struggling like she does.
The 136-page book is organized into eight topics: Dreams and Reality; School; Friends and Family; Autism; Optimism; Stress and Setbacks; Coping; and Life Happens. In each, Rose offers her take on what worked or didn't work for her while growing up in the form of life lessons. Her sense of humor offers hope to kids who may be bullied or having to change schools several times as Rose did as a teenager. The stories that comprise the life lessons are short and are great examples of her ability to overcome, with help, the issues that she faced.
