Reading is a wonderful way to build confidence and self-awareness in children! BlueSprig Pediatrics shares some of the top autism books for children this year
Nathan’s Autism Spectrum Superpowers
Nathan, the superhero of this book, talks about his autism spectrum superpowers. He describes how they affect him, and lets his friends know ways to help him when his superpowers spiral out of control. Lori Leigh Yarborough, a physical therapist, authored this book for her second son Nathan, who was diagnosed on the autism spectrum with Asperger's.

To help celebrate autism acceptance & awareness this month, we wanted to share the book ‘Completely Me’ with you!

The author, Justine Green, Ed.D. is an educator, award-winning author, and disability advocate based in Florida. Using her own life experiences, Green wrote this book to teach readers to love themselves and others and that everyone's imperfections make them unique.
