Synopsis
The Autism Acceptance Book is an activity book, a conversation-starter, and an educational tool that teaches children about autism and the challenges faced by people with special needs. It shows children that we are all different, helps them understand why people with autism may act differently; helps them imagine how things might feel for those with autism and lets them think of ways to be understanding, respectful and accepting of people with autism. While focusing on autism, ultimately, this book teaches broad life lessons about accepting and embracing people's differences. This book is ideal to share with your child or in a classroom or group setting.
This book is one in a refreshing and unique series by author, Ellen Sabin. Her other books include: The Giving Book: Open the Door to a Lifetime of Giving; The Hero Book: Learning Lessons From the People You Admire; and The Healing Book: Facing the Death, and Celebrating the Life, of Someone You Love.

August 24, 2006: Being a parent of an autistic child, I love this book. It not only embraces the world of the autistic child, but explains it in a way that children can understand what it can be like to be autistic. The colors are bright and vibrant, and the flow is just right. I have been recommending this book to people in my community, and they share my feelings. Thank you for developing such a wonderful concept.

March 17, 2006: This is a wonderful, engaging, valuable book- thoughtful without being preachy, direct while being engaging and conversational. I would highly recommend this book as a gift and guide to any child who is coming into contact with people with autism for the first time (or anything that marks someone as different than their young peers). The book strikes, in my view, just the right tone to give a young person insight into the needs and differences of a person with autism, without resorting to or promoting condescension or pity toward people with differences.
