GREEN MITTENS COVERED HER EARS - A Look at Autism, My Story with Jessica Park reveals how Anna and her twin sister influenced Jessica’s life and she in turn touched theirs.
The story begins when Jessica shared her autistic world and the sisters learned about her multitude of obsessions that annoyed or delighted her, and the different behaviors that they triggered. During high school, the sisters tutored Jessica and continued the relationship in a summer job as her companions. Because people with disabilities have to adjust to the world, they constantly worked with Jessica on controlling her behaviors and gaining skills so she was more socially acceptable and independent.
While enlightening readers about autism the book educates them in areas such as looking beyond the obvious, and demonstrates there can be success for people with disabilities.
Throughout Anna’s lifelong friendship with Jessica, she has witnessed the stares and puzzled, inquisitive looks from adults. The research shows that parents want their children to be liked by others and they want their children to reach their fullest potential. GREEN MITTENS COVERED HER EARS - A Look at Autism, My Story with Jessica Park shows us that people with autism, with our understanding, assistance and encouragement, can and do contribute to society.
