Alex and His Magical Colors: An Autism Discovery Story

Loud noises frighten Alex very much. He wants to play with other children but their loud laughter and screams terrify him. All these noises make Alex’s head hurt because Alex has autism. Children with autism or autism spectrum disorder [ ASD ] have challenges with social skills and communication. These children are severely frustrated and have difficulty coping with too much stimulation from their environment. ALEX and his MAGICAL COLORS is a heart-warming story about Alex and his magical ability to paint pictures with his amazing twirling colors. One day Alex realizes that his neighbors are sad because they are surrounded by the city’s gray, gloomy walls. Despite his fear of the neighborhood’s loud noises banging inside his head, Alex finds a way to communicate his love for his neighbors by painting the gray and gloomy walls with his amazing twirling colors. Drawing images and painting them with imaginative color patterns are excellent activities that can help all children, and those with autism and special needs share their thoughts and communicate with others.
