Winner of a 2012 Preferred Choice Awardby Creative Child Magazine!The first book of its kind that tells children with autism they are KIDS with autism, as it gently pokes fun of the onerous label autistic. The readers will feel better about themselves after reading about their new friend, the narrator, also has autismas well as many other more important characteristics. Having autism is just one small part of his overall character and humanity, and we would never again label him as simply autistic.

This is a great picture storybook that over-exaggerates the “titistics” of  most everything we do and are.

For both parents and children who are getting this diagnosis for the first time, it does definitely take the “sting” out of the words and replaces it with a spontaneous smile.

Children and parents will easily get the message that there are no real labels for anything, and at the same time there are labels foreverything, if we want them!

This is a beautifully illustrated and well written book that can be used 1-1 or in groups with children or at parent information meetings by a seminar facilitator.

Thank you Lynda!!
