Nikki Report post Posted April 12, 2005 Hi Everyone Have not been posting for a while as am 37 weeks & due to go into hospital next tuesday for arrival of no 3 . Getting nervous now as am keeping crossed that all goes ok - my french is not bad but susepct I might not remember the technical bits !!!!!!! I am looking for a good book to help explain to Molly about Samuel's asd. She is almost 3 & we are getting to the tricky stage where she cant understand why he does not always want to be with her or pushes away or alternatively hugs her until she is squashed. I would like like a nice little simple book she can read to help her understand so anyone who has read one like this I would love a recommendation Have been reading many posts of late and want to say this forum is great - I never would have survived the last year without all your input! Thanks Nikki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bid Report post Posted April 12, 2005 Good luck for next week, Niki! Unfortunately I looked in vain a few years ago for something similar. There seemed to be books for older children, but not for littlies. In the end we told our 4 year old that although her big brother was a big boy on the outside, he was still like a little boy on the inside which was why he often shouted and got cross or cried. Not ideal, but it might give you some ideas? Now, if I was a more dynamic person, I'd write a little book and make loads of money! Bid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
candy Report post Posted April 12, 2005 Hi Nikki We went with My Brother is Different http://www.nas.org.uk/nas/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=425&a=4986 or at amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1...9384175-0555013 The Amazon link will lead you onto other books for sibs/kids but I think My brother Is Different is the most simple and aimed at younger kids.

lisann Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Hi We got "My brother is different " too from the NAS website. A good book and my daughter now tells her friends quotes from the book if they ask any questions about C. It's very good and simple give it a go.
