Product Description
Created as a coloring book with a surprising educational twist, My Friend with Autism actually is written for anyone who comes in contact with an autistic child, including young classmates, neighbors, church members, and professionals. The book explains in two ways what autism is and how the behavior of autistic children can be different: children enjoy the coloring book which is packed with the message; others will find the "Notes for Adults" in the back of the book thought-provoking and a succinct definition of the autism spectrum. Teachers will discover this book invaluable because of its capability to foster integration of autistic children into the student group.

Perfect! June 6, 2008
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!
We've been looking for something like this. January 28, 2008
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.
A Friendly Introduction to Autism for Young Children! October 22, 2007

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! Check out the following book for upper elementary kids.A Is for Autism F Is for Friend: A Kid's Book for Making Friends with a Child Who Has Autism Author, Joanna Keating-Velasco
Helps young children understand their peers with autism. November 9, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I gave this book to my sons 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.
Great book for kids! June 28, 2006

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.
