Chicken Boy Adventures
A Super Hero with Autism
In this superhero series, a little boy with autism pretends to be "Chicken Boy" in order to cope with the outside world. Book one introduces us to the quiet boy who comes alive in the rain and book two sheds some light on sensory issues often encountered by children with ASD. The Chicken Boy Series was created to give those with autism a chance to see themselves in a book and those without, the knowledge to not be fearful of someone that is different.
Chicken Boy is based on the life of the author's godson, who was diagnosed with autism at a very young age. Book one was written when the little boy was heading into the third grade to give reason to some of the things that he does while the second book was written from the urging of teachers, nurses, and parents to discuss visits to the doctor and dentist.
