Dagmar H Mueller David’s World A Picture Book about Living with Autism With Illustrations by Verena Ballhaus Translated by Kim Gardner Sky Pony Press New York
David David doesn’t like it when I’m noisy He likes it even less when I hug him He doesn’t like it at all when I bring a lot of friends home He goes straight to his room and closes the door behind him to make sure he doesn’t see or hear us Sometimes I don’t like David He’s so different
He speaks a different language He doesn’t act like me or Mom or Dad or all the other people I know He doesn’t laugh when we laugh and he doesn’t cry when he’s sad Sometimes he gets mad and sometimes he doesn’t talk to anyone all day But usually I like David Because David is my brother
