When she tells Ziggy that friendship can feel difficult for her, Ziggy misunderstands and tells the others that Lemon finds them difficult to be friends with. Lemon writes each friend a letter to explain what she truly meant and shares that she is autistic. Hazel and Fig understand, but Ziggy holds firmly to what she thought she heard. Hazel helps Lemon realise that she listened, told the truth and tried her very best to clear things up. If Ziggy still chooses not to understand, that is Ziggy’s choice. Lemon does not have to keep chasing after her or explaining herself again and again. A heartfelt story about autism, friendship, communication and learning to recognise when you have already done your part.
