How does a child with Asperger’s syndrome experience everyday life?  How does it feel to be child who is different?

New children’s book Noah’s Story answers those questions and more, and gives children with the condition a tool with which to explain their condition, their symptoms and how they feel.

Australian author Grace Kim wrote the book to help her son Noah, his friends and teachers understand his Asperger’s diagnosis in 2016 after a long period of challenging experiences at school.

Noah illustrated the book.

Written in Noah’s “voice’’, it uses examples of behaviours a person whose brain works differently and offers practical suggestions for how others can respond.

Endorsing the book, author Teena Raffa-Mulligan said Noah’s Story “presents the message  ‘Sometimes I will make mistakes but I am learning just like you’ with beautiful simplicity’’.
