Publisher: National Autistic Society

Publish date: 20 November 2023

Summary

Points out that autism is not easy for anyone to understand so how do you explain it to very young children? Uses simple wording and delightful colour pictures to describe some of the difficulties that young children with autism may have and also some of the things that they are very good at. Notes that the large print and drawings mean that the book can be used with a whole group at one time.
