Product Description:
Autism affects one in every 150 children. As the disorder continues to grow in numbers, medical professionals, teachers and parents scramble to understand it and how to work with those who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders. Unique as Pete: How Autism Does Not Mean Different tells the story of an autistic boy named Pete. Written as a tool for children to better understand classmates, siblings and friends who may be autistic, the book describes how just because Pete acts differently from others, he should not be excluded, after all everyone is unique in their own way. Unique as Pete includes materials and resources for adults to learn about autism. This book is part one of the Appreciating Autism series that hopes to better educate adults and children alike. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the books will go to fund the Autism Society of North Central Indiana, South Bend Chapter's goal of opening an Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Center where families will be able to learn how to more effectively treat autism and work through some of the struggles that come with it.

I commend this book for creating an informational tool that does not present Autism as something for a child to worry about; at the same time, it does not talk down to them. It creates an opportunity to talk to your child both about differences and similarities between themselves and Pete. Every child can relate to things like having their favorite foods, favorite toys, wanting to play alone sometimes, or perhaps forgetting their own strength from time to time. It is not only a good tool to help children better understand those they may already know with Autism, but should be considered by any family hoping that if their child is ever exposed to Autism, that they approach it with understanding and compassion.

This book does a great job of explaining autism in a way that children can understand. The most important point that the author makes is that we are all unique and people with autism are too. This book cultivates kids to accept and befriend autistic kids. I would recommend that every classroom and school library have a copy to share.

What a great learning tool to use to education children about Autism. It is fun, easy to read, and the illustrations are very eye catching. This book would make a wonderful addition to any child's library, and is a must for all local and school libraries. Grandparents, why not pick up a book for each of your grandchildren.
Keep up the good work!
