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

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

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!!

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

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 thanMy Brother is Autistic (Let's Talk About It Books). I will read it to my youngest when she is a little older as well.

I love this. I have three daughters, ages 8 1/2, 7 1/2, and 5. My oldest is autistic. My middle daughter has struggled the most with patience over the last few years as she gets older. Autism has been a constant her entire existence and for longer than the youngest’s. She loves to tell anyone when she’s introducing her sister, “This is my sister, ****, she has autism.” Lol. And she kind of knows what that means, but not really...This book is going to be amazing for my younger two. And help teach them ways to spread the understanding for their sister.

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. 💙

This is the BEST book that I have found so far that describes not only to children but also to adults what autistic children and children with sensory processing issues go through. I wish every Elementary school class had this book. We teach children to not bully and to be kind but let's also teach them what these special children go through so they can also understand.
