MY BROTHER IS DIFFERENT is a picture/story book plus several pages devoted to a parent's guide on how to get the most from the story.

My Brother is Different is a book about Autism in the most unconventional sense. Autism has been growing at an alarming rate. It is hard to turn on the television, read the newspaper, or pick up a magazine without finding Autism featured. On a daily basis, families are trying to cope and are bombarded with information.

Yet, there isn’t much out there about the normal child in the household, the child witnessing the family in crisis.

This book is NOT about the Autistic child; it offers no theories or magic pills. Rather, it is a recipe to help families cope with the overwhelming feelings, fears, and everyday life as experienced by their normal child.

It will assist the parent with acknowledging fundamental yet painful truths while assisting their normal child cope with the life he or she lives.

My Brother is Different may be used as a therapeutic tool to help: families, relatives, and friends school districts, teachers, social workers dealing with families of Autistic children, counselors, psychologists, children who have an Autistic child in their classroom, college students in teacher preparation programs, anyone interested in learning about how the Autistic child effects the family.
