Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Do-si-do with Autism is an entertaining and thoughtful way to introduce young children to the concept of community inclusion for those with developmental disabilities or other differences. The author, Sarah Ann Stup, lives with autism and provides hints to help the readers' friends with autism spectrum disorder.
This exciting adventure dares to reduce the wonder about differences and to advance the possibility of friendships among children and their peers. The main character, Taylour the Turtle, sheds light on what it is like to feel pain from the movements and sounds around him. Square dancing day at school fills Taylour with particular dread. He retreats to the sidelines and finds solace in the books he loves. To Taylor's surprise, his classmates follow his lead and they all come to focus less on their differences and more on their common ground.
Autism is a disability that occurs in one in every 166 births in the United States, with rates of diagnoses steadily increasing. Children with autism frequently have intelligence equal or even superior to their non-disabled peers. They often attend school with typically-developing children; but their bodies work differently and as a result, they are often misunderstood and socially alienated. Children wonder about their classmates with autism, and sometimes want to befriend them.
An inspiring read for young friends, classmates, and relatives of people with disabilities and other differences.

This has been a great book for my 5 and 7 year old to read now that there 3 year old little sister has been diagnosed with autism. They can understand it a little bit more then she "just is taking longer to learn how to talk." We all loved the story. A great way for kids to not be afraid of autism and to "get it" a little more. I've asked SO many people now when I tell people my daughter has autism "do you know what it is?" and from our babysitters to younger kids to adults, MOST people answer "no, i really don't." I can tell them the basics but this book is A+ for helping kids understand. Should be read in EVERY elementary class!
