Book Review – How to Talk to an Autistic Kid
November 22nd, 2011 Ashley Waring
How to Talk to an Autistic Kid by Daniel Stefanski
Daniel is a 14-year old with autism. He wrote this book to help other kids learn about autism and become more comfortable befriending kids with autism. This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it for all libraries. The language is perfectly geared toward an upper-elementary/middle school audience. There are cartoon illustrations throughout, as well as word balloons and specific examples of phrases typically developing kids can use with autistic kids. Daniel’s main message is, “Don’t feel sorry for me. I have autism, but I’m cool with who I am.” This is a book about acceptance and friendship, and would be great to share with kids who have siblings, friends, classmates, or neighbors with autism.
