Rules by Cynthia Lord

From chapters.ca:
Twelve- year- old Catherine just wants a normal life. Which is near impossible when you have a brother with autism and a family that revolves around his disability. She's spent years trying to teach David the rules - from "a peach is not a funny-looking apple" to "keep your pants on in public!" - in order to head off his embarrassing behaviours. But the summer Catherine meets Jason, a surprising new sort- of friend, and Kristi, the next- door friend she's always wished for, it's her own shocking behavior that turns everything upside down and forces her to ask: What is normal?
