Kids with autism have a hard time communicating, which can be frustrating for autistic kids andfor their peers. In this intimate yet practical book, author Daniel Stefanski, a fourteen-year-old boy with autism, helps readers understand why autistic kids act the way they do and offers specific suggestions on how to get along with them.
While many "typical" kids know someone with autism, they sometimes misunderstand the behavior of autistic kids, which can seem antisocial or even offensive–even if the person with autism really wants to be friends. The result of this confusion is often painful for those with autism: bullying, teasing, excluding, or ignoring. How to Talk to an Autistic is an antidote. Written by an autistic kid for non-autistic kids, it provides personal stories, knowledgeable explanations, and supportive advice–all in Daniel's unique and charming voice and accompanied by lively illustrations.
Staff Review:
Daniel Stefanski is a remarkable kid who wrote a book on how to speak and interact with autistic children. Daniel, an autistic kid himself, gives a unique first-hand experience and shares tips on how to deal with life situations, for example, like being bullied. Truly inspirational for kids.
