Nora Raleigh Baskin, the author of Anything but Typical, puts her readers into Jason Blake's shoes. The setting of Anything but Typical takes place in a present ,typical day in your average school. The main characters in Anything but Typical are Jason Blake and his family. Jason Blake has ASD, autistic spectrum disorder this is a huge challenge for him and his family to deal with. For example it is very hard to make friends, interact with people, and one of the main challenges is that he is scared to show is face to others because he has “lazy eye”. Nora Raleigh Baskin writing style is in first person, this makes you feel like you are Jason Blake. This makes the book so much better because since jason has ASD it makes you feel how it would be if you had ASD how your life would be. ASD makes different things pop up in your mind at random times. I liked how it took a break from a part in his life. So if you like to get into other people's mindsets this is right book for you. “But when I write I can be heard. And known. But nobody has to look at me. Nobody has to see me at all” says jason blake. Anything but Typical made left a lot cliffhangers, made me laugh at some parts and made me think of how others feel with ASD. I felt like I was in his shoes while going threw all of his stress and all of his other ideas. It was a great way to feel about how others feel and care more about others more.

Rather, I pick and choose from things I’ve seen, felt, done, or experienced…and I give that to my characters.¨
