This book has broken down a very complex medical condition into bite size chunks that anyone can understand, coupled with beautifully empathetic illustrations. Thank you! -- Petra Higgins, Autism Parent Your story and your book brought me to tears. The book brought a complete mix of emotions to the fore, but mostly I feel relief that I have found the perfect book to use to help my son Adam, his brother and our families, understand how it feels to be Adam. Thank you! -- Helen Groves, Autism Parent & Volunteer at The National Autistic Society Especially helpful to support the understanding and empathy of siblings, family and friends. -- Dr Nicola Kennelly, Child Psychologist A must-read if you want to effectively engage with and teach children on the autism spectrum.

An easy way to educate those around your child. -- Alison White, Autism Parent, Canada A must-read for any health care professional who wants to learn more about autism. -- Dr Dave Wheatcroft, Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Director of Autism and Learning Difficulties A real strength is that it is written by an autism parent and illustrated by a young man on the spectrum. -- Dr Wendy Rankin, Consultant Paediatrician A beautifully written book that's changing perceptions of autism all over the world. -- Alistair Burt, Minister of State for Foreign Office and MP for NE Bedfordshire
