Romper – Katie McPherson and Ashley Jones
“Autism can make children feel different, misunderstood, and even ostracized. No parent wants their child to feel this way, and parents of the children around them probably hope their kids are being compassionate, too. Reading children’s books about autism together can allow children who live with it to see themselves represented in stories, and lets other children learn about their friends and siblings with autism and ask questions. It’s also a great way to help raise awareness about autism spectrum disorders ahead of World Autism Awareness Day on April 2.” (more)
