These will be explored throughout the book. Content covered

wobbly world, there are lots of changes and ups and downs to get
used to, not just for M, but for her friends and family too. Faced
with an exciting crush, a pushy friend and an unhelpful
Headteacher, how long until the beast of anxiety pounces again?

experiences of teens with autism.

clinical hours, and as a reference for scenarios with standardized
patients or role-play situations.
