Author Beverly Bishop teaches high school computer classes and is the technology coordinator for a private K-12 school.

It was as if this book was written just about my son. It was the perfect book for his teachers to read to the class, and help them understand.
The book needs an update though. The statistics it provides for the incidence of autism is about a decade old!

Our son, who has autism, went off to kindergarden this year. This book is great for helping small children understand what is going on. I would recommend it to anyone that is putting their child in a new situation. It's great for the parents to read and understand too.

What a fantastic introduction to autism this book provides. The coloring book format makes it a wonderful tool for kids to learn about autism while having fun. I like how the author created this as a tool to utilize with typical peers in the classroom or to send home with typical classmates to enable families to discuss at home. Providing autism awareness opportunities makes it so much easier for kids to interact and better understand each other. If we provide the information and the tools, the mysteries of autism can go away and open up opportunities for unique friendships. I highly recommend this book for young children...especially those who have children with autism on their campus. GREAT JOB!

I gave this book to my sons very first grade teacher. He is the only child with autism in his class. She read the book to the class and it really helped them understand what my son deals with throughout his day. They are so helpful. After hearing the story and watching the behavior therapists with my son, they have all become little future ABA therapists - very cute. Children at this age seem to want to understand autism and learn how they can help. This book explains what it feels like to have autism in a very child-friendly format.

This is a fabulous book on autism acceptance. This is great for teachers or parents that want their kids to better understand someone that is "different" than the others. It is well written and really presents a creative way of introducing Autism and other spectrum disorders to kids.
