Hazel, the Not-So-Naughty Autie is a rhyming picture book for autistic children. The delightful stanzas make it easy for young readers to recall the concepts. The book is a gentle and easy and humorous way to introduce and explain the characteristics of autism. The main character, Hazel, is just like any kid on the autism spectrum. Getting her off to school, feeding her healthy food, finding friends, getting her to sleep, or even to leave her bedroom can be a bit of a challenge. Finding the humor in these everyday challenges while also finding solutions is the key! Hazel is here to be a friend who shares her horror of unmatched socks, playgrounds full of wild kids, public toilets, foods that touch on a plate, and much more. An "autie" is an autistic person. It was popularized in the books of Donna Williams, a notable autistic writer.
