This is How I Help! is a heart-warming educational picture book for young children that serves as a springboard for discussion about autism. With bright illustrations and narration of real-life classroom scenarios, neurotypical students can understand what a child with autism may experience in a mainstream classroom and how those same students can learn from those experiences. This is How I Help! is a book about understanding, acceptance, friendship, and empowerment.

Jacob's pre-school teacher tells the class that a new student with autism named Tyler has arrived, and he will do things a little differently than others in the classroom. Jacob has never heard of autism but decides he wants to be a friend to the new student. Jacob recognizes Tyler's differences, admires his abilities, and is inspired to find little things that he can do to help his new friend feel comfortable in the classroom. Jacob feels a sense of pride for being a great helper and friend.
