A valuable first step in celebrating the Aspergers child.-Massachusetts General Hospitals Aspire ProgramIsaac may look like everyone else, but he actually has superpowers that make him different from his brother and his classmates. Some kids dont understand that and call him names. But Isaacs superhero brain remembers loads of things, he has energy enough to bounce on his trampoline for hours, and his ears are so sharp he can even hear the buzzing some lights make in school (ouch!). He tends to say whatever comes into his head and doesnt realize that he might hurt someones feelings - by telling them they have big teeth, for example! Even though hes not really a superhero - he has Asperger syndrome, which means his brain works a little differently - he does love to play superheroes with his brother, who understands him. Straightforward and engaging, Isaacs first-person narrative will help kids see the world through the eyes of a child with the high-cognitive type of autism spectrum disorder commonly known as Asperger syndrome.
