Comics Are a Great Development Tool for Autistic Kids | GeekDad | Wired.com



Comics Are a Great Development Tool for Autistic Kids | GeekDad | Wired.com

Interestingly, I have had a lot of feedback from parents of children with autism sharing about just how valuable they have found comic books for their children. And, simultaneously Bill Zimmerman of makebeliefscomix.com (who we wrote about over a year ago) made contact to say that he has had many parents sharing with him the value they find in his site. He was able to share some of these from parents who eloquently explain the value of comics in supporting children with autism who learn visually, to build an understanding of emotions and to develop social stories which help children learn and prepare for activities and engagement.
