Uniquely Wired — Julia Cook

This touching story helps others understand autism, as well as some of the unique behaviors or unconventional responses of kids with autism.

Zak is obsessed with watches. Before that it was trains. He owns hundreds of watches (he has quite the watch collection) and is quick to tell everyone everything about them.

Zak also has autism, so he sometimes responds to the world around him in unconventional ways. As Zak describes his point of view, young readers gain a better understanding of his behaviors and learn valuable lessons about patience, curiosity, tolerance and understanding. Grades K-5.

This book is a great gift for children living with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) to share with friends. It's also a great gift for siblings who have someone with autism or Aspergers in their life.

A great tool for parents of children with autism or special education teachers.
