Praise
Eli’s Quiet Friend is one of the first children’s books linking autism and Catholicism. As an autistic, I often like the quiet of adoration for praying and I know many fellow autistics do as well. This book brings autistic prayer down to the level of early elementary, while I have written on autistic prayer for those aged 12+. I will be recommending it to parents of autistic children and Catholic elementary teachers with autistic students.
