Have you met the Thing? Do you have your own? Journey with your child beyond the maze of a High Functioning Autism diagnosis into the realities of living with HFA or Asperger Syndrome. Help your child to understand that Autism is not who they are...that they are bigger than that - they are special..and will always be so. A short story with the flow of a poem, beautifully illustrated on every page with autism-friendly comic style pictures. The text aims to bring to life the experience of Autism through the eyes of a child diagnosed with it - but to emphasise that ASD can mean amazing things...and need not overshadow the child. This book is not a guide or a 'how to...' but a story to be shared between parent and child without the imperative to learn or be informed.
