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

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.

Autism is a complicated condition, and my identical twin grandsons each have different characteristics. This book is good for other members of the family too because it’s explanations are clear and helpful.

This book is helpful to children and adults to understand the autistic child. Good for a classroom. I purchased this to help my 5-year old grandson understand his autism. While all children on the spectrum are different, the character in the book describes my grandson perfectly.

Good book

This is a good book especially for educators to read! I shared it with my director and we will be having it on hand for other educators to read.

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 son was diagnosed as being autistic with moderate ADHD when he was 11. This book was the best thing to explain to start the discussion on what being autistic meant. He loved it and now when people ask him about it he just says "it means my brain is uniquely wired".

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.

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

As a mother with two high functioning autistic kids this book is a great way to help talk to them about who they are and some of the things they may feel or think. It's also great to help educate other kids about autism.

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.

It's a beautiful story although long with lots of information
