They come and go. These people, in and out of our lives. A constant, steady stream. When my daughter was scheduled for an evaluation at Vanderbilt University Medical Center's Child Development Center, the form asked if we wanted psychological support. Blessedly, I clicked yes.

“Roar Brave and Strong,” says the adorable, little dinosaur on the info sheet that came with a set of three children’s book. These are the first three books in a series written by Hazel Reeves and illustrated by Jay Morris. The cute dinosaur named Roar is the main character. The books are to help high functioning kids with autism or Asperger’s syndrome.  The author, a mom with a daughter who has autism, wants children to know it’s okay to do things differently. The marketing material announces that Roar the Little Dinosaur books and resources help celebrate the fantastic characteristics and qualities found in kids with autism or Asperger’s syndrome. Like Roar who uses her special talents, the children will be made aware that they too may have unique abilities and special interests.
