Opis

Have you ever had a feeling that your whole world is going "kerplooey," and no one understands why? Meet Adam, an adventurous five-year-old and expert on all things dinosaurs, who has had many of those moments. In a few short words, Adam explains the fundamental workings of his Asperger's brain. He vividly depicts what is going on inside his head. This book is a good conversation starter for young children to discuss similarities and differences in how they and others deal with day-to-day situations. It doesn't take long to figure out that they also have meltdowns and tantrums just like Adam. Sharing Adam's story will help children and their parents become more accepting of all types of children who interact with theirs. Once parents, teachers and children openly discuss what to expect when a "meltdown" is coming, things become less scary and more controllable. Adam will have many new adventures as he tries to navigate different life situations. Stay tuned for Adam's next revelation as to how his brain works and what his needs are.
