Michaela Hatfield's son has ASD, he is a very unique child who faces bullies, stereotyping, and acceptance issues in society. Her son's story is more than interesting, it's true. She has only touched on a few of the things people would notice about Enix in this story she wrote for him. However, these are things he and others are continuously criticized for everyday in society. Many people all over the world are diagnosed with ASD or a similar diagnosis daily. Through Enix's story everyone from children, adults, and parents can learn about what individuals like Enix are facing. Mrs. Hatfield gears the telling of the story from her son's perspective towards children, trying to give them insight into what they or a friend may be experiencing. She hopes this book will help people learn to embrace and accept differences as well as why these differences are not scary or any joking matter. These are real people dealing with a reality that they can not change or control in some instances. We can only choose to help, accept, and learn about their lives while they are also learning to integrate into the public world. Being accepted or unique is not bad, it's amazing and makes the world diverse. Mrs. Hatfield believes it's time children have a tool to help them learn to be more accepting.
