Description 1 volume (32 unnumbered pages) : colour illustrations ; 22 cm regular print Series Children's Book Council of Australia awards 2013 Summary "'Kevin Thinks' is the story of a boy with Asperger Syndrome (AS) who sees the world a little ... differently! His quirky observations will strike a chord with all those who are familiar with AS, from his special interest in outer space and his aversion to itchy clothes, to his (mis)understanding of non-literal expressions and his tendency to say exactly what he thinks, regardless of the consequences, whilst the accompanying illustrations reveal what is really happening from a neurotypical point of view, to often hilarious effect ." -- jacket Audience For primary school students Notes Children's Book Council of Australia - Notable book, 2013 Subject Asperger's syndrome in children -- Juvenile literature.
