"'Something different about dad' - written by Kirsti Evans and John Swogger, and illustrated by John Swogger - is a comic book about Asperger Syndrome. It's aimed at children who have an adult in their family on the autism spectrum. It follows the story of Sophie and Daniel whose dad, Mark, has Asperger Syndrome, from initial diagnosis to gradual acceptance of the fact that there is 'something different about Dad'. The book explores issues such as communication, social and emotional difficulties, inflexibility of thought, sensory and motor skills, and anxiety. The warm, funny story emphasises how a family can overcome all these difficulties, looking at sensitive issues in a lighthearted yet reassuring manner. This heartwarming and realistic story is a must for all families with an AS parent."--From back cover.
