Book Reviews of Since We're Friends: An Autism Picture Book

Book Review: Teaching Autism Awareness to Little Kids! BRAVO
Summary: 5 Stars

As an author of children's books that teach autism awareness to typical peers, I found this picture book to be a refreshing introduction tool to use for preschool through younger elementary kids. Through vibrant, vivid and kid-friendly illustrations, the book provides an excellent resource for teachers, family members, sibling support groups and community members who are introducing autism to little kids. By teaching autism awareness to typical peers, it demystifies autism with hopes of creating more welcoming and understanding environment for kids on the autism spectrum.

Summary of Since We're Friends: An Autism Picture Book

Children with autism struggle to make friends and navigate social situations. However, one child can make a significant difference in the life of a child with autism by offering compassion, understanding and friendship.

Since We re Friends is about two boys. One has autism, the other does not. The story of their relationship provides practical examples of how to make such a friendship work. It will help children see that their peers with autism can make a fun, genuine contribution to friendship.

From the publisher:
The prevalence of autism has skyrocketed in recent years. One in every 150 children is now living with this pervasive developmental disorder. The handful of autism children s books on the market represents the most severe cases of autism. However, most children with autism are much less severe. These misunderstood children struggle in social situations and have difficulty making friends. Since We re Friends will appeal to family members, friends, teachers, therapists, doctors, neighbors, and anyone who seeks to know and understand more about children with autism.
