"When I write, I can be heard. And known."But nobody has to look at me. Nobody has to see me at all."The Schneider Family Book Awards "honor an author or illustrator for a book that embodies an artistic expression of the disability experience for children and adolescent audiences...The book must portray some aspect of living with a disability or that of a friend or family member, whether the disability is physical, mental or emotional."Since its inception, several favorites of mine have gained award recognition from Schneider Family Book Award committees. THINGS NOT SEEN, TENDING TO GRACE, and UNDER THE WOLF, UNDER THE DOG are books I've loved re-reading, reading aloud, and booktalking. All three are entertaining and enlightening in their portrayal of disability in a character, and I've been really excited to see each of them win this award."'Jason, this one is free,' the lady says. She puts her hands on my shoulders. This lady is a lady I should know, but her face looks like a lot of other faces I don't know so well, and I group them all together. Her face is pinched, but her eyes are big, round like circles. Her hair doesn't move, like it's stuck in a ball. She belongs in the library or the front office or my dentist's office."But she is here now, so I will assume she is the librarian."I know from experience that she is trying to help me, but it doesn't. I can feel her weight on my shoulders like metal cutting my body right off my head. This is not a good thing."I also know she wants me to look at her."Neurotypicals like it when you look them in the eye. It is supposed to mean you are listening, as if the reverse were true, which it is not: Just because you are not looking at someone does not mean you are not listening. I can listen better when I am not distracted by a person's face:"What are their eyes saying?"Is that a frown or a smile?"Why are they wrinkling their forehead or lifting their cheeks like that? What does that mean?"How can you listen to all those words when you have to think about all that stuff?"I am hoping that when, in future years, I talk of the significance of this award, I will be able to also list ANYTHING BUT TYPICAL as a Schneider Family Award winner. Nora Raleigh Baskin's portrayal of autistic twelve-year-old Jason Blake -- an aspiring author -- is a groundbreaking story for fourth through eighth grade audiences and is one that has greatly enhanced my own understanding of what it would be like to be autistic."Other writers say there are only three plots: happy ending, unhappy ending, and literary plot (that's the kind of ending that is uncertain). There is a whole book called Twenty Master Plots, which I happen to own. And another author wrote that he thought there were thirty-nine plots."But really, if you ask me, there is only one kind of plot."One."Stuff happens."That's it."The stuff that happens to Jason Blake is this:Jason regularly posts his fiction to the miscellaneous section of an online fan fiction site called Storyboard. (His stories are actually original rather than fan fiction.) A girl with the pen name PhoenixBird begins commenting enthusiastically on his writing and they begin an email correspondence . Jason feels like he has a friend -- maybe even a girlfriend. His parents then surprise him with an offer that one of them will take him to this year's Storyboard convention in Dallas, Texas. But before he gets the opportunity to email Rebecca (PhoenixBird's real name) that he is attending the convention, she emails him that SHE is going. Now, Jason -- who is quite conscious of his socialization issues -- is faced with his feelings of what Rebecca will think of him in person and his belief that meeting her will result in his no longer be able to imagine that she is his girlfriend.What helps make Jason's story so exceptional is the manner in which ANYTHING BUT TYPICAL also brings Jason's brother and parents to life and provides us such intimate views of the family -- of how living with Jason so significantly affects each family member and constantly impacts all of their interpersonal relationships.What, repeatedly, is also such a treat are the great lessons about the basics of writing fiction which Jason shares with us:"You can make up this whole new world and all these amazing characters, but it's just that in order to make a story, basically, something bad has to happen."Through Jason's tale, we come to recognize that while his issues may be of a different flavor than ours, this is a young man who has hopes and fears, strengths and weaknesses, just as each of us does.

It was a good story, felt like it stalled a bit toward the end. I think it was an interesting idea, written from the autistic child's perspective. Some of it I could understand and some of it seemed a reach, but then I'm not autistic. This child is expressive emotionally to his parents and brother, and insightful into what his Mom needs and her emotions, but yet he only looks at people out of the corner of his eyes and is overwhelmed by sounds, etc. He communicates normally in writing his stories. I didn't realize those things could all go together, but maybe so. It was a really interesting spin though and worth a read, and did sound realistic much of the time.

When I was recommended this book and found it was a novel about an autistic boy told in first person, I could not imagine how this could be done, and thought, at best, it must be pretty weird. I found it is unusual, but not weird at all - it is touching and encouraging. Touching because Jason, the 11 year old autistic narrator is blessed with something every kid needs but not all have, un-judgmental love and complete acceptance by his parents, and the ability to accept and return this love. It is encouraging because in the end we get the idea that no matter what kind of defect we might be born with, and we all have them, we are also born with something that makes us special and which we can use to make our place in life. Jason, like many autistic people, is a savant, and his special genius is creative writing, where he excels with his Story Board postings on the web. He finds a friend there, a girl his age, whom he helps with her writing. However, away from the web he shows all of the hard-to-see characteristics (hand waving, temper tantrums, fear of crowds) of autism. These problems are related by Jason, as he experiences them causing everyone trouble, especially his teachers at school. He wants very much to meet the girl in person but is terrified that she would not like him then because of his behavior, which he hates, but can't help doing. At a young writers conference he does meet her and things don't go well. However, one of his teachers there, who is one of the "little people", encourages Jason both to bring a good ending to his story, which happened to be about a dwarf, and to realize that he has a special talent that could make his life worthwhile despite his autism. The girl contributed to the happy ending by asking him to continue helping her with her writing on the blog when they got back home. I wondered how the author, who claims she writes mostly about her own experiences, knew enough about autism to attempt to pull this off. However, from what I have seen of this disability, Jason seemed very authentic, and I think she pulled it off very well. A heart warming read.

Love this book. A great insight into the ASD mind. I am a mom of a non-verbal ASD child and I found this so insightful. I made my husband, mother, and mother in law read it too. Of course it's not going to be exactly what all ASD people feel - nothing is - but I think it gives NT folks a great reminder of how our brains process thoughts and conversations and facial expressions so differently.

I liked the topic and the descriptive language used throughout the book. But I will say, the ending was disappointing.
