Autism is not a disease or an illness. People with autism think, act, and communicate differently than non-autistic people. Some autistic people do not speak. Others may get overwhelmed easily. Learn about the ways that people with autism adapt to living in a world that often fails to understand them. Level 3 readers are aimed at children who are reading by themselves and can grasp new concepts. Key words and captions help readers understand new vocabulary and more challenging sentence structure.This project has been made possible in part by the Government of Canada.
