Neurons and Autism

This informative story introduces Ozzy, a neuron in Amira’s inner ear that helps transmit sound signals to her brain. Through Amira’s experiences with autism, music, new situations and people, the book helps children understand how the brain and senses can work differently.

Why it helps: This book helps children understand autism in a simple, science-based way. It explains how sound and sensory processing can affect autistic children, while helping readers see why new places, people or experiences may feel difficult.
