This is a book that will never become irrelevant or 'outdated'. Every child who uses it also becomes its 'co-author'. Each chapter is divided in two parts: the first part - the 'Workbook' - is for the child to complete, by writing or highlighting 'What is True for Me' in lists of simple statements. The second part - 'For Parents and Teachers' - contains helpful tips/information for the adult who guides him through the exercises. The book will provide insight into your child's mind, and make him/her more self-aware, learning what autism means in relation to crucial areas of his/her life: friendships, fears, abilities, and much more.

Recommended by world-renowned author and speaker Dr. Temple Grandin, this children's book paints a picture of what life is like for children with autism. Unique illustrations accompany a child's voice as he explains the different ways he thinks, sees, hears, and feels. This book is great for reading to children with or without autism to encourage acceptance and understanding. Written by Karen Simmons-Sicoli, mother of a son with autism and the founder of Autism Today, this was one of the first books of its kind and it continues to be a classic in the autism community.
