“Because I’m a superhero, I have lots of things to think about. I try to remember to be friendly and say hello to people I know, but sometimes I forget. I’m not being rude.”
“Because my teacher knows I’m a superhero, she lets me fidget with my special toy in class. It helps me feel calm and I can listen better.”
“Superheroes listen carefully, but sometimes get confused. When my brother told me that my tummy would go POP if I ate too much...I believed him! I don’t really get jokes like that.”
This is a perfect book for kids who know someone with Asperger syndrome to gain a clearer understanding of the way it manifests itself, and in turn, show compassion and respect. It’s also a great book for any child to read to learn to celebrate some of the differences that make each of us unique.
