RULES FOR DAVID
If the bathroom door is closed, knock! (especially if Catherine has a friend over).

Say thank you when someone gives you a present (even if you don't like it).

Don't stand in front of the TV when other people are watching it.

A boy takes off his shirt to swim, but not his shorts.

Some people think they know who you are, when really they don't.

No toys in the fishtank.

This is a story about a girl who's little brother has Autism. I loved reading it from her point of view & the things she is doing to try to help him be more "normal."
