Rules
"Twelve-year-old Catherine just wants a normal life. Which is near impossible when you have a brother with autism and a family that revolves around his disability. She's spent years trying to teach David the rules-from "a peach is not a funny-looking apple" to "keep your pants on in public"-in order to stop his embarrassing behaviors." http://www.goodreads.com

"Oshie is an engaging, funny, enthusiastic and often rebellious boy - it just so happens he has cerebral palsy. In these four stories - from Oshie's starting at a new school and being shunned for his inability to play football to saving the day on the pitch" http://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk
What's up with Ben? Medikidz explain autism
"Ben seems to be a kind of boy who prefers to sit by himself and play his own counting games than to talk to other kids and get involved in games. He is good at math and counting, but his sister, Brooke, is concerned that her little brother never makes any friends and shows no interest others. Ben finds it difficult to talk to and understand people, even Brooke herself, which makes her upset." http://www.medikidz.com
What's up with Wendy? Medikids explain epilepsy
"Another day, another virtual football-foe defeated. But when Wendy's videogame victory culminates in a seizure, her friend and opponent, Andy, is understandably concerned. All's not right with Wendy and the duo need help to understand what exactly is happening to her." http://www.medikidz.com
What's up with Astra? Medikids explain ADHD
Astra has a hard time concentrating wherever she is. She finds it difficult to focus at school and can't seem to sit still even when she's hanging out with her friends. Fortunately, the Medikidz are keeping a close eye on things from Mediland (their distant planet shaped like a human body) so when Astra's friends seem to be upset with her they quickly arrive on the scene to help!" http://www.medikidz.com
