A nice book about understanding differences submitted by bchapman630 on July 27, 2013, 9:02am It's a sweet book about a set of twins, one of which has autism. It explains how the babies were different and how it is important to be compassionate even if you don't understand. It's not reflective of our family experience with autism but it's a nice book none the less.

Different and the Same submitted by valerieclaires on August 18, 2014, 1:58pm Twins are often thought of as very similar, much to many twins' chagrin. But one when is autistic, the differences are more readily apparent. What similarities could two twins possibly have when one of them is autistic? A lot more than you might think! Callie shows us that even though we're all different, and have different ways of communicating and showing ourselves we're more the same than we think.

Great book to share with a sibling of an autistic child.
