Chicken Boy: The Amazing Adventures of a Super Hero with Autism

Gregory G. Allen

Coming of Age

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 light on sensory issues often encountered by children with ASD. The Chicken Boy Series was created to bring awareness by giving those with autism a chance to see parts of themselves in a book and those without autism the knowledge to not be fearful of someone that is different."I have a superhero inside my head. I call him Chicken Boy" proclaims our hero. What others may see as odd "quirks", a child living with autism explains as all a part  of his being a superhero. Told in the first person perspective, Chicken Boy offers a  small glimpse into the mind of one child who wants others to understand they  shouldn't fear someone simply because that person is a little different.
