Dear AAPC Customer,
The
Kaleidoscope Kid, my second book with
the Autism Asperger Publishing Company, offers
a kaleidoscope of insight into the numerous
positive characteristics of many children on
the autism spectrum. I wrote the book for my
seven-year-old grandson Sam, who has Asperger
Syndrome. He's an excellent, special, one-of-a-kind
kid, and I wanted him to have a book reminding
him of these traits.
Sam's creative nature and personality are as
variable and colorful as the view through a
kaleidoscope. I enjoy watching Sam develop and
change as he grows. He's an absolute joy.
Other children on the autism spectrum may be
surprised to know how many positives they share
with Sam and similar children. And readers of
all ages not on the spectrum will recognize
that children with autism have many characteristics
that make then fascinating, companionable classmates
and friends.
I am hoping The
Kaleidoscope Kid will remind readers
that each child is unique in his own way, and
that those on the autism spectrum have much
to offer. Every child, with or without autism,
has the potential for growth and a happy life.
Sam's many gifts and those of other children
with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism
are to be celebrated.
With Best Regards,
Elaine Marie Larson
