@book{2872, author = {Elder, Jennifer}, title = {Different Like Me: My Book of Autism Heroes}, note = {Different Like Me introduces children ages 8-12 to famous and inspirational figures from the world of science, art, math, literature, philosophy, and comedy. Eight-year-old Quinn, a young boy with Asperger's Syndrome, tells young readers about the achievements and characteristics of his autism heroes, from Albert Einstein, Lewis Carroll, Benjamin Banneker, and Julia Bowman Robinson, among others. All of these heroes excelled in different fields but are united by the fact that they often found it difficult to fit in, just like Quinn. Fully illustrated in color and written in child-friendly language, this book will be a wonderful resource for children, particularly children with autism, their parents, teachers, carers, and siblings.} }
