Specific Usborne Books for Specific Special Needs

Best Usborne Books/Series for Autism and Asperger's

I purchased this book for my three year old son; he is Autistic. What I like
is that this book is broken up into categories like people, clothing items,
foods, toys, animals, parts of the body & more. The pictures are specific,
up-close, and colorful, to attract a child's attention. I feel that this book is
perfect for children who are learning to speak, and name objects...~ Kristen O.,
