"I See Things Differently" is a sensitive, gently illustrated book
about helping a child understand autism in a sibling, playmate, or
classmate. Using simple language and non threatening pictures of
different common actions or manifestations of autistic behavior, "I
See Things Differently" helps explain the condition of autism in a
factual, forthright, calm manner that is easily understood by young
readers. Helping to promote understanding goes along with learning
positive interactions patterns and acceptance of other children
with autism. Concern for all levels of health pervades the pictures
and narrative of "I See Things Differently," an educational text
written from a child's viewpoint to increase understanding of
aspects of autism. Many additional tips and suggestions for parents
and caretakers of children with autism and others are offered at
the end in How To Use This Book, along with added titles of Books
To Read and Resources for Adults. "I See Things Differently" is an
excellent resource for parents, caregivers, teachers, and children
who encounter others with autism."
