I Have Autism, but I Want to Play Too
Description
If you have a child or know someone who suffers from autism, ASD, or another disability, this book is a must have. I Have Autism, but I Want to Play Too was written to help children with autism and other disabilities understand that they are not alone when it comes to difficulty in making friends. It was also written to teach children without disabilities to include children with autism and other disabilities in play and to appeal to parents to talk to their children about their peers with disabilities. When it is all said and done, we are not all the same, but we are also not that much different once we get to know each other.
