This book is everything. It should be in every home, school, anywhere there's people.

Describing the joys autism brings and helping people see the importance, the need to PROTECT that joy, not take it away or punish autistics for having it, is possibly the best message I've read is such a long time.

I absolutely love this book! As an autistic person, I related very much. I also enjoyed the style of having words in different patterns as part of the illustrations.

This is a book that I've given to many people (some autistic, some not) so that they'll better understand some of the more joyous aspects of being autistic. I've gotten positive feedback from all of them so far as well.

Very highly recommended!

The illustrations and text have done a beautiful job of translating this piece into a book that every family and teacher of autistic individuals should own.
