Mark is autistic, ADHD, and dyslexic, he is trying to navigate his final day and weekend of the first week of high school. Mark's parents and his brother don't believe that Mark should receive help for his disabilities as they are not easily seen by his family. Mark leads the reader through his thought process and experience of adapting and needing to figure out his emotions dealing with his family. Unfortunately, it is seen as Mark rebelling when he first learned how to communicate when he went nonverbal. The help that Mark receives from his neighbors, teachers, and counselors helps Mark to pursue his passion for art. While he is alienated by his family, Mark is accepted by his peers, whom his parents don't understand. Mark wants to feel cared for by his family like all of his friends are though he is slowly finding out who is a good friend and who he can rely on. Though Mark's life in school and with his peers is improving, Mark still feels isolated in his own home as he lives with a family that doesn't accept him as he is. Marks of a Changing City is the story of a high schooler's journey as he struggles with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia. He searches to find people who will accept him for who he is and not what is wanted by preconceived notions.

Autorenporträt
Jake Hampson is autistic and has sensory issues he works through daily. He has worked with and plans to continue to help people who identify as neurodivergent or disabled. He wants to help others to not need to face some of the hardships from the community around him and to help bring out a positive world that is accommodating to more people. Jake wants to try and help to make more diverse books regarding disability so that others can learn about different life styles and possibly see themselves represented in a story. Jake's goal in life is to help others work to find healthy coping mechanisms even if the coping strategies they find don't find into what people view as standard. His main goal is to help people reach what they want to do in life, either by being an advocate or teacher to them so they can move forward with whatever goal they want to reach in life. Jake hopes to help others through his writing so more people can know how to help people or feel comfortable being able to ask how they can help those around them.
