Critics Review
“Easy to read and with attractive graphics, this book is an excellent resource for understanding neurodiversity in children. Autistic children, as well as their family and friends, will find that the book conveys practical information of relevance to daily life.”

“The book is great. It’s an excellent introduction to autism for parents and kids. I love that the book explains to kids that autism is not something they suddenly have, but that it’s a word for how their brain works. I know my child could identify with different aspects of the three kids in the book. Seeing himself in these kids starts a conversation, and the prompts within the book provide a framework for exploring my child’s strengths and needs.”
Parent of a 9-year-old autistic child
“This beautifully illustrated book helps to explain to ASD level 1 and 2 children (as well as their parents and teachers) the meaning of being neurodiverse and that their set of abilities may provide special talents, as well as opportunities to learn socially based information that may not come to them as easily.”
Michelle Garcia Winner, MA, CCC-SLP
CEO and Founder of Social Thinking Methodology
“This book is a valuable and original way for autistic children to learn about their gifts and challenges. The authors have produced a beautiful book for parents and others to enjoy reading with an autistic child, to celebrate their differences.”
