First-person sentences describe the sensory overload, difficulties navigating social interactions, and yearning for friends that "Aspies" experience. Stock photos of animals are played for comic effect: the critters hold signs, use speech bubbles, and sport accessories such as eyeglasses. While the design is uninspired, the information is accessible and the animals may be a draw. A useful addition to books about differences.

This book features five children, each photographed completing a different daily task or going to the doctor or hairdresser. The book's uncluttered designed, with one photo per page, will help children (such as those with autism spectrum disorders) who may need a more structured approach to basic routines. Though the first-person narration is cloying, it might help readers relate to the activities. Reading list.
