About this listen

Tally is autistic and proud. She used to feel like she had to hide her autism, but now Tally is determined to make sure people see who she really is. But now Tally has a new worry - her school trip. And that means new places, new people and new challenges.

She quickly falls in with the popular girls and is grateful that they don't make a big deal about her autism, but it's not long before Tally realises that, while the girls are popular, they aren't very kind.

With a jolt Tally understands that she's not the only one who's been made to feel like she has to hide her true self. But will she find the strength to stand up for herself and the people she knows are being treated unfairly, or will she stay quiet?

And will Tally ever find her people?

The second book written in collaboration with Libby Scott. When Libby's mum shared a short piece of Libby's writing online it soon went viral, with tens of thousands of people saying that Libby's writing helped them understand autism for the first time.

This fictionalised portrayal of a young autistic girl is written by Rebecca Westcott, in close collaboration with Libby Scott, making it a truly original and inspirational book that will give readers of all ages a deeper understanding of what it's like to be autistic.

Perfect for fans of The Goldfish Boy, Wonder and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

I really enjoyed the book and how it made me think about my own life and myself, there were bits that made me really angry and other times really happy in the story.

I recommend it to everyone, especially if you are autistic.

Review from 11 Yr old autistic

The books Can you see me and Do you know me I think in my opinion are a very good way of showing what it could be like for someone with autism ,I love the way Tally adores Rupert and Rupert adores Tally. I love when Tally and Jade become friends and that Jade knows all about cats. I love how Gory is always talking about bad things that may happen but probably won’t happen. When Tally feels scared or frightened she feels like she needs to flap her hands. I like that because when I’m scared or frightened I need to hop from one leg to another and that will help calm me down. The character Sky always acts like she’s better than everyone but when when they were doing the rope activity she got scared and the others had to save her. In short I believe this is a really good book to show what it’s like to be autistic. But every autistic person is different.
