Customer Reviews

for syblings of autistics
I bought this for my 9 year old daughter who has a 7 year old asperger brother who can be very difficult. I thought she might ignore the book, but she read it, laughing and commenting on what reminded her of her brother. I will by more of this type of thing. Even if the kids in the books are different than mine, I think it helps her to know she is not the only girl with this situation in her family.
