Does your child have a friend, family member or class mate who has autism?

Would you like your child or the children in your classroom to understand more about autism? Are you looking for an engaging way to start a dialogue about autism?This book uses a simple ABC format to teach about autism. With delightful illustrations, this book teaches, from a child’s perspective, the typical traits that many people with autism share.I invite you to read this story interactively with your child. You can playfully try flapping and rocking with the child in this story. Ask your child to look deeply into your eyes to see if it is uncomfortable for him, too. Encourage discussions of how you or people you love might be like the child in this book. You might compare and contrast how the child in this book is similar or different from a person you know on the spectrum. This book provides wonderful opportunities to discuss how to be a friend of a child with autism. The simple action plan at the conclusion of the book will help give guidance to a child who wants to be a friend of someone on the autistic spectrum. As a pediatric physical therapist, I work with many children on the spectrum. I often see misinformation about autism and well-meaning, but misguided, attempts to interact with people on the spectrum. I believe knowledge helps break down barriers and encourages kindness and patience. Helping children understand autism at a young age is powerful. Reading this book will change the life of your child and the lives of people on the autistic spectrum that your child meets now and in the future.

Product description

About the Author

Amy E. Sturkey, PT met an adorable boy with cerebral palsy and his family on a safari in Kenya. As she tried to help them, she realized that little information was available to help train pediatric therapists and to educate children and families about common childhood conditions and treatment options. Capitalizing on her 25+ years of experience as a pediatric physical therapist, Amy co-founded Gotcha Apps to produce educational mobile applications for pediatric therapists and their clients. She created an instructional Facebook page, a website, and a YouTube channel. On these platforms, she releases weekly email newsletters/blogs and videos to instruct therapists and families of children with developmental challenges. Amy won Outstanding Physical Therapist for North Carolina for 2016. Amy’s newest adventure is creating picture books for children providing simple and entertaining information about common childhood disabilities. This book is the first in that series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational, but fun!

I enjoyed this cute, easy read and thought it was a very accurate description of this disorder. I highly recommend it as a tool to open up conversations about children with autism to other kids and help them to understand why they do what they do and ask questions to parents/therapists about how they can act/respond in different situations when trying to be a peer to a child with autism.

This is a wonderful book that highlights behaviors and challenges that many children with Autism experience. It is written from a child's perspective and is easy to read and understand, making it a great resource for children who have siblings, family members, or friends with Autism. It is also a great teaching tool for the classroom. I work with many children with Autism and I feel this is an accurate, sensitive and helpful description of the challenges and behaviors that many children with Autism experience. I would highly recommend this book for any children (or even adults) who know or work with someone with Autism.

This is a terrific book! While it is geared towards children, anyone who wants a little insight into the world of autism will enjoy this informative and easy read. If you know someone whose family is affected by autism, you'll appreciate learning about a few of the issues they face everyday. As the favorite aunt of an incredible young man with autism and a service provider in this field, I plan to share this book with as many people as possible. Thanks to the author and all responsible!

5.0 out of 5 stars the author sets forth her goal to help others to understand what it is like to have autism

In her introduction to A is for AUTISM - A Child’s View, the author sets forth her goal to help others to understand what it is like to have autism. The way the book is presented indeed encourages the reader to experience the emotions of the child with autism. She describes, from an autistic child’s perspective, a variety of situations which present behavioral challenges.

With the increased prevalence of Autism, Amy Sturkey’s book is extremely relevant. I believe the use of this book will help to achieve the author’s stated goal. It should encourage people who are interacting with autistic children to do so with greater compassion.

I love the book! The child pictured in the book is adorable and reminds me so much of my own son. The book is a great gift for teachers trying to help their classroom understand a special classmate. It explains the unique behaviors associated with autism without making them appear as a disability. I would highly recommend this book to parents or teachers!
