One of our award winning series "Stories for Special Children. This book is divided into two parts: the first half is Katie's story - about her day and how she is supported in school, how she uses a visual timetable and copes with common difficulties such as the dining hall and the playground. Children on the Autistic Spectrum have a diverse range of functional levels, and cannot all be reflected in this story, but the aim is to "paint a picture" of a mainstream child with Autism and the difficulties that they may meet. The aim is to reassure young readers who may have Autism themselves, or to use with a group of children for PHSE to encourage understanding of others' and an awareness that we are all different.

The second half of the book is aimed at the adults who support children with Autism, and contains valuable information and suggested methods of supporting these children and enabling them to meet their potential.
