Uniquely Wired: A Story About Autism and Its Gifts for Kids ages 6-9

I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Yes, this is a children’s book, but it is great for anyone of any age who has limited experience with an autistic child. I would recommend it for siblings, grandparents, friends, etc. Everyone of all ages read it in my family and agree it helps with info in a fresh way. Not meant as a text of deep study, but let’s the reader think in a very positive manner abt the subject.

This is a great book for both children and adults learning about autism and themselves. Completely recommend this book

This book was great! I read it to my class, as we have a student with autism. It was helpful to gain an understanding of what autism is like. It also was good to help guide conversation around this topic with third graders.

We purchased this book shortly after our little boy was diagnosed with ASD. This book is wonderfully written and easy to understand for small children who are just learning about Autism.

Reading this with my son and it reminds me of him completely. He kind of gets it.

Lovely book. A bit wordy and heavy-handed for a toddler. I put this back on the bookshelf to read later.

This is one of the first Autism books that I can honestly recommend. There have always been bits or pieces of information or language that didn't sit well with me in others. I will be purchasing a copy for both of my son's teachers from here on out every year, and sending a copy to all family! This is a great book to introduce autism to typically developing peers also, and contains a concise informational section at the end for adults. I love that Julia Cook and Melissa Reinhardt, MD decided to include tip # 9 "Celebrate the wins! When you work with a child on the spectrum, you get to see and celebrate accomplishments with a fullness and satisfaction that others with typically developing children may gloss over or take for granted - being able to buckle a seatbelt, consistently putting on clothes the right way, being able to open a screen door that requires pushing and pulling at the same time, uttering spontaneous, fluid sentences, or hugging with their arms wrapped all the way around your neck! Those are the moments, the glimpses inside, we live for and need to celebrate." We love Julia Cook's books!

My kid loves the pictures and the story

Lovely book! Have an autistic 9 year old son and I need a boom that explained things in a nice way to make him feel he wasnt different in a bad way. this book perfectly written for that reason. It explains that his differences are bad they can be a good thing.

Accurate and insightful. An excellent teaching tool for classrooms with uniquely wired kids.

Great product, as per description

My son has autism so when he started asking questions I found this book to be the perfect way to explain what autism is. It's like this book was written about him for him. I high recommend for anyone who has or knows someone with autism. It's truly for all agaes

Perfect size, colours and examples for individuals to understand about ASD
