Anything but Typical by Nora Raleigh Baskin

This book is about a boy with disabilities. I love books with people with disabilities because 1. They teach me a lot about the disabilities and 2. Specially with kids with autism, I love how authors express the way the kids think. Everything is literal, and there i always something special in the way the think. For example, in a book I read over the school year (I din't remember the name or author. I think it was something like Mockingbird) and she put things in capital letters that weren't really meant to be with capital letters, like "Heart", because she believed that things that were important should have capital letters.
With this book, "Anything but literal", I haven't quite understood his way of thinking that makes him special yet, since I have just started the book, but I know I will find something.
The main character, Jason Blake, feels like he can only be himself in the online world, on his favorite website, writing stories, even though he isn't very recognized for the amazing stories he writes because they are too... original. And people sometimes like stuff better when it is connected to something they have read: Harry Potter, Divergent, Percy Jackson, Hunger Games. Fan fiction.
He meets somebody online. Somebody who likes his stories, and has stated to confide stories with him. And that person is being nice to him. And that person is a... girl. A girl is being nice to him? To him, that is strange and unusual, since his autism leaves him as an outcast.
I strongly recommend this book for anyone who relates to any of what I have just said.
Actually, In strongly recommend this book to anyone who likes to read good books.
