Perfect list! Thank you.
Also check out Z is for Zip- it’s a new children’s book about autism. It’s really a must have for upper elementary classrooms or for children who have siblings on the spectrum. It describes many different characteristics and facts about autism in a kid friendly way.
The more kids know the less they judge. And the easier adults talk to kids about disability, the easier it is for kids to accept those who are different and move on!
Thanks!
