About Nathan's Autism Spectrum Superpowers
Product Description The superhero of this book, Nathan, explains his Autism Spectrum superpowers, how they affect him, and ways his friends can help out when his superpowers spiral out of control. This book is a TOOL written by a mom/pediatric physical therapist to help kids, family, friends and caregivers understand Autism Spectrum and some of the struggles and superpowers associated with it. Review Danielle Quintero ***** Good Reads Review I loved how his mother made this book to help him better understand who he is and why things are the way they are for him. She made sure he knew he was special in the most amazing way and to never let other people tell him different. He was diagnosed with Autism/Aspergers as a child so his "superhero" power as his mom called it, should never define him, but just make him a stronger person. She goes on to help him and help others know their "superhero" powers as well. It is a sweet and touching book, and I love it even more because it is based on the life of the author and her son, so it's more real. Rebecca Maney ***** What a Wonderful Book! One of the best, yet simplest, conversations about a topic that touches the lives of so many children, their families, their friends, their teachers. The "Helpful Hints for Friends" sprinkled throughout the book are insightful and practical! Chris Wade ***** Great way to encourage the appreciation of diversity in the classroom! As a special education teacher I found this book very valuable not only in reminding myself of the special aspects of the child with autism (in particular the part about energy drainers and energy builders), but a great introduction for all students in the classroom to gain an understanding of some of the peers in their midst who might seem a bit different. I especially enjoyed the bits of humor throughout and the end where Nathan's states "That was exhausting" and goes to his room to play with blocks by himself. Such a great representation of student's with this disability, while still stressing the individuality of each child. . Sue Stone ***** Great book with awesome tips. For all ages. I was gifted this book by a friend. I have a grandson on the spectrum and this really helped me to understand what is happening with him. I've read several books but all were geared to adults and very clinical. This gave great tips and suggestions and will help us going forward. I bought 2 more copies for the other set of grandparents and his parents. I think it will really allow his big brother learn to help too. Love it. From the Author What makes Nathan a superhero? His Autism Spectrum Superpowers! - Nathan's Autism Spectrum Superpowers, the first book in the One Three Nine Inspired series,offers a unique perspective on how kids with autism see the world. Each superpower also comes with a "Helpful Hints" section for friends, families, and caregivers because sometimes superpowers can spiral out of control. - Why this new perspective? I wanted my son to know that just because he reacted to things differently than his friends, that didn't make him odd, it made him special. So I came up with an idea to explain autism in a way that made sense to him. After I told Nathan about "Supersonic Hearing," he finally understood why noises could be so loud and overwhelming, and he wanted to know ALL his superpowers. - All kids need to believe they're wonderfully made. Nathan's Autism Spectrum Superpowers helps show them their value and encourages them to believe in their own worth.
