Title: My Brother Sammy
Review: I think it's important to emphasize that all children in the family are special, each in his/her own way. Explaining to siblings that the autistic child is "special" is one way that a parent can help brothers and sisters understand, accept and love. But in a household where autism can be so demanding of parents' attention, and where the autistic child is frequently the recipient of multiple in-home therapies (i.e., additional attention), the typically developing sibling needs to know that s/he is very special, too. I agree with the other reviewers that this is a sensitive and well written book but wish it had imparted that message. Many parents of autistic children try to teach that we all equal (and equally special), just different. When reading this book to my 4 year old to help him understand his little brother, I improvised and found ways to add that he is special, too.
