(PRLeap.com) "Darrin Is Different," a new book by Bridget Scherm Kiley, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

A heartfelt story designed to help young readers understand and embrace neurodiversity.

The story follows Darrin, a relatable young boy who shares the same love for coloring and play as his classmates, while navigating the world with autism. By highlighting Darrin's unique perspective, this book serves as a gentle introduction to how students with autism experience their environment. Emphasizing the essential values of patience, love, and understanding, encouraging children to look past differences to find common ground.

Kiley wanted to create a resource that helps children see that being 'different' isn't a barrier to friendship. It's about teaching the next generation to lead with empathy.
