Inhaltsangabe

Winner of a Preferred Choice Award from Creative Child Magazine! The first book of its kind that tells children with autism they are KIDS with autism, as it gently pokes fun of the onerous label "autistic." Readers will feel better about themselves after reading about their new friend, the narrator, who also has autism—as well as many other more important characteristics. Having autism is just one small part of his overall character and humanity, and we would never again label him as simply "autistic."

If I catch a fish, am I fishertistic, and if I cook the fish would that make me culinaritistic too?

WHEW! Ridiculous! I don’t need any labels at all.

I’m just a typical person, with my own likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, hopes and dreams, who approaches the world a little differently… but many times, better.

I’m a brilliant person WITH autism.

Autistic? How silly is that!
