Hi! I’m Kitty Wampus. This story is about a new cat on my adaptive baseball team. He seems cool, goes by Teddy, and he is an autistic kitten. My friends and I want to be able to talk and play with him, but we’re having trouble connecting with him.

We don’t know anything about autism (yet). Do you know how to use sign language to communicate? Countdown cards, fish sticks, and PECS? (it will all make sense, I promise). And just when we’re making progress, I really mess things up. As in epic fail. 

My folks are always telling me it’s the small pieces that make the big picture. My friends and I finally realize just what our small but very important piece is… 

Written by an occupational therapist, Specialty is the second book in the Kitty Wampus series aimed at teaching young readers about inclusion and celebrating the differences that make us special.
