Different Thinkers: Autism

Written for elementary-age youth, parents, educators, and clinicians, this guide features three vignettes of autistic children. Each vignette highlights various aspects of autism, how these may manifest at home and in school, and how children can navigate unique experiences while building on their individual strengths. Thought-provoking prompts are included throughout the text, helping young readers to better understand an autism diagnosis, what it means to be a different thinker, and to embrace their special gifts.

Co-authored by pediatric neuropsychologists, this is the second title in the Different Thinkers series which helps kids understand their brains and the unique vulnerabilities and opportunities that come with being neurodivergent.
