Quote:
The book was published and will be donated to local schools to help educate kids about autism.

Mia wrote the book last year while in second grade. She was inspired by her younger brother Matteo, who is autistic.

The book aims to educate children her age about autism and show how to interact with autistic peers. She said she hopes it will reduce the stigma associated with autism.
