Children are often curious about others and ask questions or form assumptions about those they perceive as different in less than ideal ways. By introducing characteristics of autism in a manner that promotes understanding and inclusion, assumptions based on fear or confusion can be avoided, and attitudes of acceptance, kindness, and empathy can be fostered.This book allows the discussion to go one step further by enabling families to share about their child with autism, if they choose, in a personalized, authentic way. The template at the end allows readers to learn specifics about peers with autism and how to be a friend.
