The Truth About Autism

How do you explain autism to kids? This book is the answer....It's said that if you've met one child with autism you've met ONE child with autism. Although there are general traits consistent with those on the spectrum that are used for diagnosis it is given the term spectrum because of the very wide range of symptoms and severity from person to person.
