When Sarah Flies

Autism is a disorder that affects so many more children nowadays. While it is prevalent in our society, many children are still confused when they have a classmate who exhibits some of the characteristics of autism. Things like stemming behaviors are the topic of this story. A boy notices his classmate, Sarah, who stems by flapping her hands in a flying motion. Before the teacher explains to the class what is happening to Sarah, the boy believes that she is trying to fly. This is a great story to share with all children to help them understand and communicate about autistic friends so that they can be even better friends to them.
