Rules by Cynthia Lord

I just finished reading Rules and loved it. Catherine, the main character, has a younger brother who has autism. Catherine struggles at times with her brother’s behavior, so she develops a list of rules to teach him.

What I liked most about this book is the insight it gives us about autism. Catherine learns that even though some people struggle with physical and mental challenges, they can be great friends and have a lot to offer.

This book mixes humor with some sad events. I would highly recommend it to all, especially those of you who may know a person with autism.
