Beskrivning
Winner of a Preferred Choice Award from 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." Readers will feel better about themselves after reading about their new friend, the narrator, who also has autism—as 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."

Mer om författaren

Lynda Farrington Wilson is an artist whose talents and experiences have culminated in writing, illustrating and advocating for children with autism and with sensory processing disorders. Living in North Carolina, Lynda and her husband have three beautiful sons. The youngest is a funny, brilliant and talented sensory-seeker who has autism. She is certified in the Affect-Based Language Curriculum and has created social and independent skill development programs using peer models in the classroom. Lynda has illustrated several books. Her first book, endorsed by Temple Grandin, "Squirmy Wormy" "How I Learned to Help Myself," helps children understand their sensory issues while providing easy every day activities for self-regulation. When not advocating, Lynda enjoys capturing life's moments in custom pencil portraits and playing in the mud on the potter's wheel.

Recensioner i media

This is a great picture storybook that over-exaggerates the 'tistics' of almost 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 for everything, if we want them! This is a beautifully illustrated and well-written book that can be used one-on-one or in groups with children or at parent information meetings by a seminar facilitator." - Susan N. Schriber Orloff, OTR/L, CEO/Executive Director, Children's Special Services, LLC "This sweet and endearing book offers youngsters a fresh perspective on autism, by helping them understand that autism is just one small facet of who they are!" - Rebecca Moyes, MEd, author of Visual Techniques for Developing Social Skills and Building Sensory Friendly Classrooms, and mother of a young man with Asperger's Syndrome
