Ian's Walk: A Story About Autism is a book about autism by Laurie Lears,[1] who also wrote Waiting for Mr. Goose, a book about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.[2] The story tells of a child with autism, and a walk with his sisters (who are frustrated with his stereotypical behaviour), and how they begin to understand him after he wanders off. Ian's Walk is regarded as a useful tool to help family members of children with autism understand associated behaviours.
