Praise for Jennifer Elder's last book, Different Like Me:

'This book will help inspire kids who are different and shows them that they too can succeed.'

- Temple Grandin, Associate Professor of Animal Science, Colorado State University, and author of Animals in Translation

'…this is a great confidence booster for children with a 'high functioning' Autistic Spectrum Disorder, an opportunity for them to show off, and an enjoyable read for everyone, to boot!'

- Education Otherwise

Autistic Planet is a magical world where all trains run exactly to time, where people working in offices have rocking chairs, and where all kids dream of winning the chess World Cup. Join us on a journey to this alternative reality, where being different is ordinary, and being "typical" is unheard of!

Full of color illustrations and written in child-friendly rhyme, this book will be much loved by children, particularly those on the autism spectrum, their parents, teachers, carers and siblings.
