Simply Different Joseph Mallahi

Most of us cannot fathom what others go through. Most of us wouldn't want to walk a mile in their shoes. But what of the young boy living with autism, struggling through daily life?This short story is designed to make you stop and think. How hard is it for one young boy to function when his daily routine is upended by something that most of us would find trivial? What emotions would he experience when he can't find his flip flops and how does he cope when other kids at school don't understand why he's different. Written for children, as an imaginative offering to help them understand that life isn't always as straightforward as it seems and that while a daily routine is a good thing, when you suffer from a condition like autism it doesn't take much to completely derail it. Simply Different is a book that will open your eyes and make you think, and perhaps imagine one day in someone else's flip flops...
