Damien Rist has written an incredible piece known as What is Autism? We all know what it's about from the title, but there's a lot covered in this short book. What is better than explaining an important topic with poetry? Yes, here we are introduced to the world of autistic people and how they live, what they have in common, their routines, their hobbies and interests, and many more facts. The fantastic part is that it's all explained in poetry. Being autistic has always been seen as something weird, and people hate having these disabilities. But in the book, we see a lot of amazing things. In fact, being autistic can sometimes mean you have an extra point. The important thing is that many people don't know how to behave with autistic people, and that's why this book was written. Read this short and fun book and learn about your fellow autistic friends.

What is Autism? by Damien Rist is an amazing book. It is nearly 30 pages long, and it covers a lot of important stuff. I learned a lot of things. One of the bonus points the book has is its poetry. It is so friendly and easily written. Even children can understand what it's talking about. I never thought being autistic would be so hard and challenging, especially when you have no friends to understand you. Now I know how to understand others' disabilities and help them. This book really helps in communicating and socializing as well. As I mentioned before, everything you need to know about autism is here. I really loved the book; it added to my knowledge and was a short and fun read.

I couldn't find anything negative to say about this book. The poetry was amazing, and it made it fun. It was short and easy to understand. There weren't any editing problems or errors of any sort. I believe the book was exceptionally well edited. It was a helpful book, and I liked it. With all that being said, I would love to give it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

I would recommend this fantastic book to readers who want to know about this disability. It is suitable for children and adults, and you can learn a lot from this book. If you want to know interesting facts about autistic people and want to know them better, then you must have a look at this book.

It kind of sounds interesting to me. As a poetry lover, I would pick anything that involves poetry. I think that being autistic is unique—something that others won't understand easily. In today's community, being perfect is a must, and if you are not, then you won't fit in with society, especially when you're autistic. I really want to know what it is like in the autistic world. Thank you for another flawless review, Bella. Perfect as always. Good luck! 😊

I have read this book and indeed I agree with you, as it mentioned many information in a simplified way that conveys the concept of autism well. Your review is detailed and explains the most important elements of the book.
