Great book for children who are victim of bullying, who have reasonable reading skill. A bit disappointed that it didn't specifically tell the children to walk away from the bullying. Other than that, I like the pictures and the story.

Kevin thinks ...about outer space, confusing expressions and the perfectly logical world of Asperger syndrome by Watts, Gail

Publication: . [28] pages 22 cm

A good book for explaining Asperger type thinking, but for neurotypicals, not for ASD kids themselves. It makes the assumption that you understand non-literal phrases etc. But good to read to older primary age classmates.
