I See Things Differently: Helping Kids Understand Autism and Neurodiversity (A First Look at...Series)

This book is a great book to introduce and talk about autism to kids and adults. I included this book along with autism bracelets and buttons in my son's party favor bags. He has autism and is nonverbal so this was ideal and important to me to gift to our family and friends.I also agreed an excerpt titled all about me where I explained some of his likes/interests, dislikes /triggers and ways to help make him feel calm comfortable and accepted so that anyone who is with him feels the same.GREAT BOOK!!

I bought this book to teach my youngest about her big sister’s autism and it is a great little educational book for children. It is quite spot on. I bought a second one for Read Across America week for my child’s teacher’s classroom. She absolutely loved it.

I love this book so much. It simply and supportively helped us explain Autism to our son and family.

We ordered this book after my son, who is autistic, pointed out that he feels different than other kids, and we felt the need to talk to him about his uniqueness. This wasn't an easy talk, so we needed an icebreaker for him. The book arrived and sat on the table for a few days. We walked into our dining room one day to find him reading it, so we decided the discussion was necessary. Prior to finishing the book, he said he knows he is autistic because he feels the way some of the descriptions provided In the book. This was a good tool for explaining the differences of others and explaining to his sister why her brother does certain things. I would recommend this book to other families when they decide the time is right to introduce their child to their uniqueness.

I bought this book for my children(6 yrs, 4 yrs, 9months) after my 4 yr old was diagnosed. When we received this book I hadn't discussed autism with any of them, and I was hoping this book would help teach them about autism. My 4 yr old ASD child didn't even make through the first page before he was wandering the room. But, after we were about 2-3 pages into the book my 6 yr old looked and me and said, "Mom, my brother has autism." I asked him why he thought that I and he said because his brain works differently. this book was a good starting point for talking about autism and learning a little about autism for small children, much better than My Brother is Autistic (Let's Talk About It Books) . I will read it to my youngest when she is a little older as well.

Perfect for families and communities

One of the books I purchased in april to bring awareness to my autistic son(s) and his school. The book was read to the entire school. He was 6 at the time and the book is so clear and yet so delicate in a matter of bringing those connections to their brains about Autisim. He made such powerful eye contact with me during the book and had a fear in his eye only I could understand. He then asked me after if he had autisim. I asked him if he identified with the character and he replied yes. I admitted to him that I did too. 💙

Helping teaching my special needs kids we all see things different and that's okay

Brilliant book. My granddaughter is currently being assessed for autism and I brought this book on a whim. I have to say it is excellent and explains things in a very no-nonsense and simple way. As a family we have found it very useful and will also use it for my granddaughter as she grows up and her little sister to help them understand what is happening. A most for any family of all ages who have an autist child.

Perfect book to share for my sons JK class to educate them on world autism awareness day! So glad I ordered it very educational yet child friendly in wording and scenarios presented. Perfect

Really good to introduce children about what autism is and how we should include these children.

Exactly what I was looking for to give to my 5yr old nephew and 6yr old neice to help them understand Autism. Nicely illustrated, large text with just enough on each page and talking points included to help the youngster discuss what they have learned and any issues about peoole they may know. It would be helpful for teachers who have autistic children in their classes, to use with other children to help understanding.

This book really helped my 5 year old better understand her 3 year old sister with ASD.
