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

Perfect for families and communities

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.

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

I bought this book in BULK to give away to family members and friends. It's a great teaching tool for both adults and kids to learn more about autism and the different behaviors of autistic children. The format is easy to understand and effective. As a mother to child with ASD, I appreciate having these tools available to us to help spread awareness and acceptance about our child and their journey.

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.

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.
