The Autism Acceptance Book: Being A Friend to Someone with Autism is an interactive, educational and character-building book that introduces children to the challenges faced by people with autism while also supporting their personal journey toward appreciating and respecting people's differences. The book offers information, conversation-starters, and engaging exercises that invite children to "walk in someone else's shoes" as they learn to treat others the same ways they would like to be treated themselves. While focusing on autism, ultimately, this book teaches broad life lessons about accepting and embracing people's differences. This is a great book to help family members, peers, and classmates better understand autism.
