If you’ve ever had to explain autism to a child, you know it can be very difficult. Autism is very complex. But if you have a child with autism you’ve probably had to do just that. Maybe it was explain autism to your child’s sibling, or a cousin, or a friend.
And to make it even more challenging. There aren’t a lot of resources to help. So I created one for you. I took the familiar fairy tale of Goldilocks and gave her many of the characteristics and traits that someone on the autism spectrum might exhibit.
Initially, this was available through a previous publisher, but I am happy to announce that I’ve partnered with Wild-Ink Publishing and Goldilocks is now available as a beautiful children’s book illustrated by the incredibly talented Anais Balbas.
In addition, an autism glossary and discussion guide are included in the book to serve as a teaching tool.
This unique and heart-warming story of neurodiversity and acceptance is sure to be a great addition to any classroom, library or home.
“Goldilocks has Autism Spectrum Disorder, or ASD. ASD means she sees the world a little differently. Things must be a certain way, or she becomes uncomfortable. She doesn’t understand how dangerous some things can be, like wandering away from her parents. Or that there are some things you shouldn’t do, like walking into someone’s home without knocking. We must be careful to keep her safe. Today taught us that even more.”
