Whether you have a son or daughter with Autism, you should own this book!

Like many other siblings of children with Autism, 10 year old Stephanie Ham was filled with questions about her sister, Abby. Why did Abby act strange? Why did Abby play differently than other children? Why did her parents have to devote so much time to Abby? These and many other questions were in desperate need of answering.

My Sister Has Autism was written by Stephanie and her mom Sherry as a tool to help Stephanie come to grips with her sister's diagnosis of Autism and learn to accept Abby for the wonderful individual she is. This charming and informative book explains from a child's point of view the struggle and unique situations faced by those families who deal with Autism on a daily basis. The poignant words and touching illustrations hand drawn by this young girl bring a whole new perspective to the often misunderstood world of Autism. 

A portion of the proceeds from this book benefit King David's Kids, a non-profit support organization for families with children that have developmental disabilities such as autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, Pierre-Robin and other physical and mental disabilities.
