The Superhero Heart: Explaining autism to family and friends (boy) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781979873208)

This story speaks to children who are close to a child with autism; a brother, sister, cousin, friend or classmate. It explains how we are all different to each other, and how the sibling has special powers, which help them in the trickier moments where the child might feel rejection or find it hard to deal with a meltdown. With an air of magic running through the story, it is positive and empowering and encourages the child to use their special powers to make their dreams come true. The Superhero Heart is written by a mother with first hand experience of what it takes to raise two very different children in a family with autism. The story was initially only intended to be for her son, to help him understand his brother better, but has since turned in to a book available for everyone to share with their children. To help your child relate to the message in this story, the book is available with a number of different characters. The book is part of a series, and if your family is living with autism, you may also want to take a look at Christel Land's other title "The Superhero Brain", which explains autism to the autistic child in the same empowering, magical way.
