Russell's World


Russell's world: A story for kids about autism is a wonderful book for kids to learn what having an autism spectrum disorder can look like. Kids on the spectrum can vary widely in their own abilities, but Russell is on the severe end of the spectrum. With love and patience that really shine through, Russell's father, the author of the book, paints a picture of Russell and his family. It's a story of acceptance and nurturing that will win your heart, and the use of pictures along with illustrations will keep even the younger kids' interest. An extensive Note to Parents at the end also provides resources and support.
