In honour of World Autism Awareness Day, author Louise Cummins is giving away 20 copies of her picture book –different kind of brilliant – designed to help children better understand and support their autistic classmates or siblings in a positive way.

The book is designed to broaden perspectives and to reach not just families affected by autism, but help other children to accept all walks of people and their differences – knowing that everyone is brilliant in their own right.

A different kind of brilliant is available for purchase for AUD$24.95 via https://adifferentkindofbrilliant.com – 10% of all Australian direct sales from the website will be donated to Autism Spectrum Australia.

Read all about Louise’s story – from despair to hope – here.

  • At 5 months, she’s just brilliant to me, nothing different x


  • I think my son’s kind of brilliance shines through his ability to turn the most common, everyday objects into some kind of alternate reality where such objects have powers, physics bending properties and somehow can do just about anything that they can’t do in this world! Play power!


  • At 3 years old, my daughter is starting to learn that everyone is unique and has their own brilliant differences. I’d love to win this book for her to donate to her daycares library to help share this message with all her friends


  • my child loves classical music and so i think he’s really different from other kids


  • My son is profoundly deaf. His brilliance shines through in the ways he finds to manage this difference – such as standing for School Minister for Technology, and telling the whole school that his cochlear implants are an example of why he’s comfortable with technology.


  • My daughter is intellectually disabled and she has such an innocent outlook on life and only sees the good things in people


  • The fact the my child is very literal as they will follow instructions exactly


  • Maths! At age 7 my son knew most timetables. He also has a vocabulary which exceeds most people i know even though he didnt speak till 4!


  • Logic, in ways that can frustrate teachers and us as parents. Try explaining to a child WHY he should do a test when he has already done a practice test and proven how he can do it. So much passion and conviction in his logic too.


  • This is not my child but my friend’s child has come from a boy with a lot of pent up anger to an amazingly brilliant boy that is able to self soothe when he gets frustrated.


  • We’d love this because my kids older half brother is autistic & my kids are only 2 & 4 to better understand & teach them about it. They’re brilliant because my daughter loves to help & stands up for herself if she thinks people are being mean, my son learns so quickly & can put things together so easily once shown how


  • My child is sassy with too much wisdom for her age but my sister has autistic children and the three of them as social zwkstd and intelligent as they r they get my humour!


  • He has a love of books that borders on obsession, I find his memory of the details in these so many stories a little bit brilliant.


  • My daughter takes the world in slowly and struggles to keep up in a fast paced grade 1. Her drawings are brilliant and make her who she is.


  • My eldest son was ADHD & his inability to sit still in the classroom was sometimes difficult but his eagerness to tinker with building powered toys made him become top in the class in Power Mechanics. He could pull apart a lawn mower & rebuild it in his early teens & went on to become a mechanic who is now keenly sort after by a stream of loyal customers.


  • hes friendly and always is happy and can name all the planets and he doesnt even know how to read yet


  • My eight year old grandson is caring and attentive at home and school, but his different brilliance, which amazes us constantly, is his retention of mobile phone numbers, I can only remember my own while he rattles off many.


  • My children are so outgoing they love making everyone feel welcome and love sharing there toys with everyone.


  • My girl has a great imagination. She loves to colour her showers in paint and just pretend to be in a middle of a rainbow while she baths herself


  • My kids are a different kind of brilliant in their own ways, when they play or be creative they are each individuals and their characters grow each day.
