「究竟自閉特色奇特，定奇怪嘅其實係我哋？」
admin
上述坊間可能出現的種種誤解，或會令自閉特色人士難於融入學校及社會。自閉特色兒童常被稱為“來自星星的孩子”，因為他們神秘又難以捉摸 ，像天上的星星一樣，與人溝通交流、行為、想法等方面，都好像有著自己一套奇妙想法。即使如此，是否又等於他們是有別的一群呢？
當然，不一樣不代表誰不正常，也不代表誰有錯。
育有自閉特色兒童的一對美國夫婦，以自閉特色人士的角度及視點創作了《不一樣沒關係，我們還是好朋友》繪本 (原名《Why Johnny Doesn’t Flap / NT is OK!》)，以傳遞包容及接受差異的訊息。
繪本中的主角是位自閉特色兒童，常因其好朋友 (非自閉特色人士) 的舉動作出種種疑問：
- 為什麼他不會一字不漏地背出節目字幕？(因為主角做事常常要求精準)
- 為什麼他遇到開心的事情，不會拍手或手舞足動？(因為主角傾向直接表達情緒反應)
- 為什麼他下課後要跟朋友一起玩，而不能自己一個人靜下來？(因為主角通常會習慣靜下來)
即使朋友在主角眼中有多 “不像自己”，但他總是說「…但是沒關係，我們照樣玩得很開心；我喜歡他，就算他不像我一樣也沒關係！」
