Easy Read and Very Insiteful!!!

Any parent that has an autistic child should read. It's about a 13 year old autistic boy who ask questions and then answers them for you. He tells how the people in the world make him feel. Why he does what he does. It opened my eyes up to so many things.

Beautiful

I am very familiar with ASD, I wasn't expecting to learn anything too new or groundbreaking. I was wrong. This book brought tears to my eyes, a whole new understanding and lovely language. A simple concept, Q&A, but one I never thought I'd get to read.
