Synopsis
A booklet to help young siblings of autistic children understand what autism is.

From the Author
Why this book was written
This book was written to help my daughters, Jemma and Jade, understand why their brother, Jack, did the things he did and help them accept that even though he did embarrasing things when we were out he couldn't actually help it! Why does he knock my games off the table?, he's so destructive. Why does he squeal when we go out? Why doesn't he get told off when he's naughty like I do? I hope that this book will help other families like ours!

Customer Reviews

Simply great!
I read this book and by the end i had tears in my eyes. My son has ASD and I brought it so his sisters could read it and learn to understand him a little more. The text is simple but full of emotion and the drawings of the boy are lovely.I would recommend this to anyone.

Great Explanation
This book is wonderful. The text is clear and simple and the pictures are delightful. My friends little girl was talking to her mum about my child and couldn't understand why she got told off but he didn't. I simply handed this book to my friend and once her daughter read it she said "I understand now". This book could apply to a child with speech and communication difficulties not just autistic children. It really is a great book to own and extremely useful when trying to explain what life is like for a child with S & L difficulties.

My Brother Thomas
This was one of the best books i could have brought for my twin daughter Kylie, her twin brother was diognosed with severe autism at aged 3 they are both now 8 and Thomas is still non verbal, she read it cover to cover it has lovley pictures and very easy to read and understand sentences all the way through, i would recommend to anyone
