DOWNLOAD EBOOKFloppy Lop-Ears is different from all of the other kids. He dresses differently. He acts differently. Other kids tease him because he is different. Mommy and Daddy Lop-Ears take him to visit a special doctor who doesnt give shots! Dr. Coon explains that Floppy has autism spectrum disorder, and he is not like the other kids because his brain works differently. Dr. Coon explains some of the difficulties that those on the spectrum have in everyday situations, such as struggling with conversations and acting in ways that others consider weird. He also emphasizes the many positive aspects of having such a unique brain. Floppy is glad to be special, until he realizes that the other kids still tease him for being different. Suddenly, he decides that he must do whatever he can to get off the spectrum. This is the story of a young bunny who knows that he is not like everyone else and tries to make himself better in ways that only the pure innocence and vivid imagination of a young bunny (or child) can create. During his journey, he discovers that sometimes being different is the only way to really find acceptance. The Parents Pages provide additional information about ASD from the authors truly unique perspective.
