Velasco, Joanna L. A Is for Autism, F Is for Friend provides a
unique glimpse of life from the perspective of a child who has
severe autism. It is told through the voice of Chelsea, an
11-year-old girl, who has severe autism. Chelsea sees kids on
the playground and at the park and wants to get to know them,
but social interaction can be tricky for her. As Chelsea
explains some of her behaviors and challenges, she compares them
