I highly recommend books, such as Different Like Me, so children can see that heroes come from all walks of life. It takes away the stigma help by some that all people with autism are the same and replaces it with empathy and respect that people with a diagnosis of autism can be fully functioning valuable members of society.
It is written from the perspective of a young boy with Asperger's Syndrome and introduces young readers to autism heroes that are well-known, such as Albert Einstein and Lewis Carroll.
