Earlier this fall, the Georgia Regional Office of Autism Speaks presented the Gwinnett County Public Schools and Foundation with seventy-five copies of "The Autism Acceptance Book: Being a Friend to Someone with Autism," one for each of their elementary schools. The books were given to the principal of each school to further the education of neurotypical children about the world of autism.
The interactive book uses narrative, activities, conversation starters and journal exercises to help children ages 6 to 12 learn more about autism, develop understanding for people different from themselves and encourages them to be kind, compassionate and helpful through their actions.
