Different, Not Broken: Understanding and Living with Autism
A Simple Guide for Families, Friends, and Anyone Who Cares
By Ken R. Stiger
What if the child you love isn't broken - just different in a world that doesn't yet understand them?
In Different, Not Broken, compassionate father and seasoned writer Ken R. Stiger opens the door to a deeper understanding of autism - not as a problem to be fixed, but as a unique way of experiencing the world that deserves respect, empathy, and unconditional love.
Written in warm, everyday language, this heartfelt guide offers a powerful message: autistic children don't need to be "cured" - they need to be seen, heard, and accepted just as they are. Whether you're a parent, teacher, sibling, friend, or simply someone
who cares, this book will help you:
Through honest insights and real-life reflections, Different, Not Broken invites you to let go of unrealistic expectations and embrace what truly matters - connection, trust, and belonging.
This is more than a book. It's a call to action for a kinder world where every child feels safe, valued, and free to be themselves.
