The following novels all address Autism directly and could be helpful to new teachers who want to learn more about ASD through reading literature:

Have you Met My Brother, John? by Mary Potts
|
This is a picture book that can be enjoyed by children of all ages. Although most of the literature above deals more with living with Autism and the effects this has on the families involved, this book is a great way to introduce Autism or exceptionalities to young students in your classroom. The book comes in picture book format, or as an app where children can interact with it individually. The storyline is about two brothers, one who has Autism. Themes includes accepting and appreciating difference in all those we meet.
