Fantastic book. Helped our Autistic son see his Autism in a VERY positive light
Loves that there was a very detailed explanation of Nathan’s ASD characteristics and put a very positive spin on it. Our Autistic son is 7 years old, and though younger than the child who this story was about it was worded in a way even he could understand. It was great to see our son was able to identify his own ASD characteristics, and instead of feeling down about his condition was able to finally see it in the positive way we, his parents, had already felt. Seeing this through the eyes of another Autistic child was very beneficial. I do wish that the font was able to expand when reading on a cell phone though as it was very tiny and difficult to read at times. Otherwise a tremendous book for your little one, and was also an amazing tool to help his older siblings better understand ASD and not only the challenges our youngest son faces, but, also help get a glimpse into the mind and see the positives as well. Great read for the entire family.

Great book for explaining autism to 6yo+ kids
My son thinks like scientist in this book was a great fit from the perspective of a peer. It’s a long read, so I don’t think that it would be good for younger kids. For my eight year old who was recently diagnosed, he took to this well. It does a great job of explaining things and making them sound special. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a book from a kids perspective with explanation and tools to help.

An absolute must-have & the Over-reaction chart has been a lifesaver!
This is the best book to help your autistic child understand his/her special super powers and all those involved with them on how to help them! It details each aspect of his/her super power, ie: like “super sniffer.” It explains why he/she may be repelled or seek certain smells. Then there’s a little box at the bottom for friends (or family) on how they can help their friend if he/she is overwhelmed by their super sniffer. Another great tool is the Over-reaction chart! It helps your autistic child by explaining that they may be exhibiting a level 5 reaction of “Total emergency- you can freak out” and it needs to be a 2 “Unexpected situation- bummer- not a big deal.” Can I tell you what a lifesaver this has been?! Wherever we are I can help my son react properly to any situation by using this chart. It’s in his classroom and SPED class as well! An absolute must have book.

Take a super scary subject and make it positive! Amazing! I’m a grateful mom!
My son is 6 1/2 with high functioning verbal autism. We have been doing all kinds of therapy for 3 years and this book is how we explained to him why. It was wonderful. A few things I paraphrased and explained because some of the words were a little big. But hes also young. It takes something that could be so scary and intimidating and paints it in such a positive way. He was actually excited and relieved to relate to the book and at the thought that he has superpowers. It even has a section to work through and write down his own superpowers and his own power drained (or kryptonite as they put it) His dad and I read the book over 3 nights and he is going to work through the workbook part with myself and his wraparound therapist. I couldnt have asked for a more positive way to tell my child something that could be so terrifying to a 6 year old

Perfect for my little superhero
When we introduced our (almost) 6 year old to his autism, we used this book and family superhero shirts (the body of the batman symbol is a puzzle piece). This is a picture of us after we read through the book for the first time. You’ll see our son holding a framed poster of a Bible verse, which was the last page of the book.There were some big words, but he really enjoyed the book. Our 8 year old clearly understood the book and really liked the “helpful hints for friends” sections at the end of each page. Our biggest issue was that one of the pages talks about taking things literally, and yet another page introduced his metaphorical tool box that was stocked with a “Plan A,” but not a “Plan B.” He had a lot of trouble grasping that concept. Everything else in the book was clearly understood. It’s not a one-time story/conversation to have with him. I appreciate that the book was a little over his comprehension level so that he can keep reading it and keep talking about it as he grows. In the meantime, he proudly wears his autism superhero shirt while hugging this book. He took it to school and his teacher read the book to his entire class. It was very empowering tool him!

Incredible strengths based way to introduce autism
This book explains autism from a strengths based perspective which is vital. It is the best kids book on autism I’ve found and I’ve looked at a lot. It also gives tips for kids that aren’t autistic as to how they can help their autistic classmates or friends! Love this book!!

My son loves it
I’m giving this 5 stars because my recently turned 3-year-old son with mild to moderate ASD loves it. I’ll admit that I was skeptical when I looked at the pages initially before reading it to him (he was 2 at the time). The pages do have a lot of information, and the paragraphs on some pages are long; however, it’s not substantially different from Dragons love Tacos (which my son also loves).He is in speech 5 days a week and has only begun acquiring some language in the last few months, but “superpowers” is a word that he uses proactively to say he wants to read this book. He also likes to sit alone in his teepee and look at it.As with all books, I think you have to gauge your kid’s level of interest and adjust how you use the book. You don’t have to read every word on every page, and many of the pages are written such that you can read 1-2 sentences. I like it because it introduces tools and language that we can use with him in everyday life that he remembers from the book, so he is more receptive.
