Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2- An unnamed child tells about his friendship with Matt, a boy with autism. Matt's condition is addressed directly, but then glossed over, as if his behavior were not really a problem. For example, when talking about playing basketball, the narrator says, "Sometimes Matt has a hard time following directions at practice.... Since we're friends, I show Matt what to do." Children who are autistic don't simply have a hard time following directions; they have difficulty attending to what is going on around them. They often have trouble with any organized sports, and while it is thoughtful for a child to volunteer to show Matt what to do, it is unrealistic to expect that he will respond to this "extra" help so easily. Both boys are drawn as cartoon characters; one is white and one is black. They are generally smiling, although Matt's expressions change with his mood. The message in this book is not to be ignored; it is important for normally functioning children to befriend those with disabilities. But, it is unreasonable and a little disingenuous to suggest that a classmate can ensure that a child with autism will play well with others and be accepted by the group. Accomplishing this is beyond what most professionals could attain.-Wendy Smith-D'Arezzo, Loyola College, Baltimore, MD

    Not for me, but phenomenal

    As a parent of two children with autistic spectrum disorders, I have no need for this book myself. However, after reading the book online, I highly recommend it for others. Every elementary library should have one. If your child is going to interact with a child with Asperger's (high functioning autism, to be brief) then you owe it to them to read them this book. The book not only teaches kids to accept autistic kids, but gives wonderful tips on how to interact with them when they act 'autistic' and prepares them for some of the turbulence that will occur. My son is homeschooled at the moment, but if I put him in school, I will buy a copy of this book for his class. I just want to note that this book is about a certain type of autism and its usefulness is diminished when dealing with more severe cases of autism. The lessons here are great, but don't apply to all types of autism.

    Great Introduction to Autism

    A terrific book for anyone who needs an accesible way to explain what autism is - and is not - to younger children. It introduces autism as a difference, not a disorder, and portrays a child with autism having a successful, mutually enjoyed friendship, earning it's full five stars from me.

    A MUST HAVE For your Book Collection

    This book is a wonderful resource to use when assisting children in learning about Autism and every child and adult can relate to the characters of the story. There needs to be more books that discuss and demonstrate Autism to young children.
    A MUST HAVE!!!!!
    (Also an excellent book for discussion with young school children)

    Great Book for Elementary Age

    This is a really good book for elementary age peers of children with Autism. I recommend that every teacher get it for your classroom. "Since We're Friends" removes a lot of the mystery behind autistic behaviors and empowers by providing a child with tools for helping their friend with autism. A must read for any child.
