Product Description
Synopsis
A booklet to help young siblings of autistic children understand what autism is.
From the Author
Why this book was written
This book was written to help my daughters, Jemma and Jade, understand why their brother, Jack, did the things he did and help them accept that even though he did embarrasing things when we were out he couldn't actually help it! Why does he knock my games off the table?, he's so destructive. Why does he squeal when we go out? Why doesn't he get told off when he's naughty like I do? I hope that this book will help other families like ours!

This book is wonderful. The text is clear and simple and the pictures are delightful. My friends little girl was talking to her mum about my child and couldn't understand why she got told off but he didn't. I simply handed this book to my friend and once her daughter read it she said "I understand now". This book could apply to a child with speech and communication difficulties not just autistic children. It really is a great book to own and extremely useful when trying to explain what life is like for a child with S & L difficulties.

This was one of the best books i could have brought for my twin daughter Kylie, her twin brother was diognosed with severe autism at aged 3 they are both now 8 and Thomas is still non verbal, she read it cover to cover it has lovley pictures and very easy to read and understand sentences all the way through, i would recommend to anyone

I bought this book on the recommendations of those on this site. My son has Autism, but does not bite his sister, need to be contained in a pushchair, or need to wear a nappy. I am sure this book would be perfect for families with a severely autistic child, but for those of us whose children are not so severe, it simply served to upset and confuse when the aim was better understanding.
