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 BOOKS BY LIBBY SCOTT AND REBECCA WESTCOTT Can You See Me? (2019) Do You Know Me? (2020) Ways To Be Me (2021)
Reviews
'Do You Know Me' is a fantastic book! It's the second book by Libby Scott and Rebecca Westcott and it's about a girl called Tally who is autistic. I would recommend this book to people aged 10-12. I really liked the character of Tally but I also liked her friends Gory and Jade. I have rated this book 5 stars as it is excellent!

This series was recommended by my friend and I thought was great since it was about a girl with autism. My brother is autistic and the book gave me a lot of information and advice on how to help him.

I read this book with such great detail as this book is about autism and it changed my way of how I see and think of autism. This book is so funny and meaningful as it teaches kids the difficulties of autism and how people with it are treated unfairly to other kids by using humorous language through 12 year old Libby Scott's diary entry's of how she copes with autism and how others need to change the way they view it. You must read this book so we can change the way autism is seen, which is why it is a definite must read.

It fits in well with Can You See Me and again it really shows us how Tally is feeling. It also helps us learn lots about autism and tells us that people that are on the autistic spectrum are not aliens. They as human as neurotypicals are. Perhaps even more. Who knows???

I think this book shows how to be real friends and don't judge people by their weak points.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I had read the first book, Can You See Me?, and I liked it a lot. I haven't really read many books like these, so they were firsts for me. I found the book incredibly interesting and insightful and even though it was fiction, I found it very factual. My favourite character? I didn't really have one, but if I had to choose, I would probably choose either Tally or Gregory. I would recommend this book to people who would like to learn a bit more about autism and people who like realist stories.

After reading 'Can You See Me?' earlier in the year, I was looking forward to reading the second book and following Tally's journey through the maze of secondary school relationships and challenges so much so that I borrowed it from a child in my year 6 class as soon as she'd finished reading it! This was another eye-opening book and as a teacher, (sadly) I feel I have learnt more about autism through reading both of the books by Libby Scott and Rebecca Westcott (and 'A Kind of Spark' by Elle McNicoll) than I have through any training I have received! The style of this book - told through a narrator and through Tally's diary entries really gives you an insight into the character's thoughts. Another great success.

Tally has made friends with Alexsandra and is as happy as she'll ever be at school. However, a new obstacle appears: the residential to GoCamp. She is worried and anxious, and when she gets there, she finds herself alone... This book is perfect for kids aged 8+ who want to learn more about autism.

A worthy sequel to the brilliant Can You See Me. This book provides further insight in to Tally’s world and the relationships that children have with each other. It also highlights the vital role of school residential trips in challenging and providing a level playing field for all children. I love the switch between narrative and diary format and the Tips for Teachers are very handy! A great read.

I absolutely loved this book! It is so intriguing and interesting to read. It is kind of like a diary almost of Tally‘s (an autistic girl) life. I found this really helpful as I have family around me who are autistic and friends. It is actually written by an autistic girl and an author so it really helps you understand their lives and how they see things differently to us. They have little diary sections in some parts written by her and for the rest of the time her life in the view of her. This is the 2nd book in the series and I have read the 1st one already. This is one where she goes on a school trip for the first time in highschool and she finds it really hard but makes new friends and that kind of stuff. Overall I love this book and I think age 7-13 could read it. I think it would be really helpful for everyone to read as it is really informative about autistic people’s everyday hardships.
