I Have Autism – A Child’s First Look At Autism
I Have Autism is a children?s book to help parents and teachers explain autism to a young child. In this book, the main character, Alex, has autism. He talks about how autism affects his behaviour and other aspects of his life. The inspiring story of Alex can improve the self-esteem of any child with autism and helps explain why he/she is different.
The I Have Autism Resource Guide includes a definition of autism, practical strategies for coping at home and at school, a reference list of books and organisations, and suggestions for talking to the child?s siblings and peers about autism. The Resource Guide also contains a reproducible I Have Autism book that the child can personalise. It includes suggestions for adding text and pictures to the book. Personalising an I Have Autism book helps the child with autism to understand his world better, to improve his/her social skills, and manage his/her behaviour.
