Product Description:
Discover the unique characteristics and abilities of children with Asperger Syndrome and high-functioning autism – from A to Z. This book, laid out in an A-to-Z format, celebrates the extraordinary gifts and unique perspectives that ASD children possess. Each page of this playful alphabet book presents one of the children’s many talents and abilities. The kid-friendly illustrations and clever text create a positive portrayal of children with ASD. Designed to help the children with ASD grow in self-awareness of their many capabilities, I Am Utterly Unique also encourages dialogue with siblings, friends, parents and teachers.

Good simple book showing positive aspects of people on AS. Many "that's just like me moments" with my 6th grader.

I got this book for my son, who is high functioning and he has really enjoyed it and we have added it to our night time routine. While not all the characteristics apply exactly to him (he laughs at "F" which is "I have fantastic focus", because he doesn't at all, and he knows it!) We have also used as a template to do our own alphabet book, geared more specific to him. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it is a little more simplistic than I had wanted. The great thing about this book is that it gives these guys positive aspects of autism instead of more of what they "can't" do.

My son really enjoyed reading this book with me! He was very proud as each letter referenced a wonderful, unique quality about him. What a gift to celebrate together!

The traits commonly associated with Asperger's syndrome (one of the autism spectrum disorders) are listed out in alliterative alphabetical order-I Like to Learn, I am Utterly Unique, I am a Knowledgable Kid...etc. What I love about this book is the positive spin it puts on children with AS. It doesn't endeavor to fix them, it's a moral booster. The only thing I don't like is that, by the time a child with AS gets to the point of appreciating a book like this, an alphabet book can be seen as insulting to his intelligence.
Other than that, this is another great motivational book for a child with AS-or really, any highly-funtioning form of autism-that shows the benefits of being a kid who's really good at a number of things. Great job done by the author not trying to "fix" the children reading this book.

I think the book is great. I love the positive view!
It just wasn't right for what I was looking for. It's definitely geared toward a younger audience than my 11 year old son.
