AUTISTIC? HOW SILLY IS THAT! I DON’T NEED ANY LABELS AT ALL

Author(S):  Lynda Farrington Wilson

Award Winning Book:  Creative Child Magazine, Preferred Choice Award

The first book of its kind that tells children with autism they are KIDS with autism, as it gently pokes fun of the label “autistic”. Young readers feel better about themselves after meeting their new friend, the narrator, who HAS autism, as well as many other more important characteristics. Having autism is just one small part of his overall character and we would never again label him as simply “autistic”.
