A children’s book presenting the different struggles that kids, who are diagnosed with autism, deal with everyday.
These little books are part of a series of 30 books that will explore the different levels of the Autism Spectrum. Being an autism dad myself, I have been inspired to show our youth what autism is all about. To my knowledge, there is close to no children’s book that talk about autism. This series has the target market of kids between the ages of 5 to 8 years of age. The plan is to have this book available throughout the country within a year, so that all kids get to learn about autism. The book is 7 inches by 7 inches, has a glossy cover and contains 26 pages. It is available in both official languages.
- Non-verbal behaviors
- Making little or inconsistent eye contact
- Infrequently sharing interest, emotion, or enjoyment of objects or activities
- Being strong visual and auditory learners
- Having difficulties with the back and forth of conversation
- Having an unusual tone of voice that may sound sing-song or flat and robot-like
- Difficulties sharing in imaginative play or in making friends
- Repeating certain behaviors or having unusual behaviors, such as repeating words or phrases
- Becoming upset by slight changes in a routine and having difficulty with transitions
- Being able to learn things in detail and remember information for long periods of time
I really like how it’s written, my daughter, who is not on the autistic spectrum, do not always understand what is happening with her younger sister, these books explain what autism feels and the language used is simple. Thank you !
Marie Pierre DoucetI think these books are very important, the autism spectrum is sometimes difficult to explain to people, even more so to children, these books explain it in a simple and precise way, in a context that children understand.
Tracy Furlotte MaltaisHello, I am a Grade 3 teacher for 8-9 year olds and a mom of 3 children aged 8,10 and 12. I really enjoy the books “My friend Sam” for their simplicity and the awakening side of autism. These books are very suitable for undergraduate students. In Grade 3, they can generate beautiful discussions on the autism syndrome and guide our reactions towards the children who live with them. My children enjoyed reading these books and recognized some classmates there. My students also appreciate these works for their images and simple explanations. Autism is such a vast spectrum, the manifestations are so varied that these small pictorial books give our pupils pointers and guide them towards greater openness. Thank you for this great contribution to education
Renée HardyMY SON RELATES TO SAM. HE NO LONGER FEELS ALONE This book series is nothing short of AWESOME. My son enjoys them so much and they are a huge help in helping us and our family as we deal with FASD. It may not be the exact same diagnosis as Autism, but some of the struggles and situations we deal with are similar. What I love most is how our son relates to Sam and doesn’t seem to feel as alone anymore. Thank you for writing these. The whole series, in my opinion, is a must have not only for families living with Autism, but others who deal with other diagnosis. I could even see these being beneficial for psychology therapy sessions (they could bring up some decent topics of discussion). Nice Work!! Keep going 😉
