DESCRIPTION:
Tobin’s friends meet him halfway! In Diane Murrell’s first book, Tobin Learns to Make Friends, Tobin made special changes in himself in order to be friendly toward his playmates. The charming trains learn that a little extra kindness can put them all on the same “track.” Parents and teachers will find both books useful in teaching mutual understanding. Friends Learn About Tobin shows how Tobin’s friends accept and appreciate his differences, such as discomfort with change, repetitious behavior, a knack for numbers, a photographic memory, literal interpretation of words, and sensitivity to noises and crowds. Now, Tobin’s friends try to understand where he is coming from.
Diane has a heart for mothers and children to find their place in the community, and will tame monsters and slay dragons to help this happen through her life and work. In addition to the Tobin series, she is author of Oliver Onion, a children’s book and study guide about self-acceptance..

Review of "Friends Learn About Tobin" I am a physician specializing in anesthesiology. Over about 30 years I have had multiple patients with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), both children and adults. I was never trained to deal with this and for many years did not understand the disorder, or how to deal with children with ASD. As a result it was difficult for me to provide a safe, non-stressful perioperative experience for these children. I started researching ASD. Through my research I am much more competent at dealing with children and adults with ASD. I have recently fo. GREAT BOOK! Sandy Great learning tool for children! Important lessons for ALL to learn, such as, we can have differences that are NOT on the outside, but on the inside. Different ways we react to situations. How friends should treat each other. One line reads: "Friends help friends whether they are the same or not". Simple, but often UNDER emphasized. Helps kids begin to understand the semantics and idioms in our language. I truly appreciated the lessons offered by this story. Also, well made and good paper quality. Hope this helps. This was a really go. "a child with autism spectrum than you will absolutely LOVE this book" according to Lorraine N. Weber. If you have a child with autism spectrum than you will absolutely LOVE this book! Check out her other one too! I had my son who is 6 bring it to school one day and the teacher thought it was great too. It really does relay how these super power kids think differently and should be accepted. It helps your child or one you love understand how they need to understand others too.
