But when you have autism--or when your brother or sister is struggling with the condition--life can be challenging. It's one thing when you're a kid in grade school, and a playdate goes south due to autism in a family. Or when you're a little kid, and a vacation or holiday turns less-than-happy because of an autistic family member. But being a teen with autism can get pretty hairy--especially when you're up against dating, parties, sports, body changes, school, and other kids who just don't 'get' you.  In this powerful book, teenagers Ryan Elizabeth Peete and her twin brother, Rodney, who has autism, share their up-close-and-personal experiences on what it means to be a teen living with autism. SAME BUT DIFFERENT, explores the funny, painful, and unexpected aspects of teen autism, while daring to address issues nobody talks about.  SAME BUT DIFFERENT underscores tolerance, love, and the understanding that everybody's unique drumbeat is worth dancing to. .     \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eMy Brother Charlie\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNAACP Image Award WinnerDolly Gray Award Winner\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eMy Brother Charlie \u003c\/i\u003ebrilliantly underscores a deep acceptance for those with autism–it is a remarkable and inviting book.\" —Suzanne and Bob Wright, Co-founders, \u003ci\u003eAutism Speaks\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eMy Brother Charlie \u003c\/i\u003ewill stand the test of time in the hearts of its readers.
