Tahir's Way to Play: Friendship on the Spectrum
This story is inspired by my grandson, Tahir. When it was written, he was just two and a half years old curious, playful, and full of life. Like many children with autism, Tahir is eager to make friends, though he sometimes faces challenges being understood. He is non-verbal, yet his personality shines brightly, and he expresses himself in ways that are uniquely his own. This book is a reminder that friendship doesn’t always need words. With understanding and kindness, we can help all children feel included, valued, and celebrated for who they are.
