Callie and Charlie are twins, and they have a close friendship with many similar interests. Callie tells the reader about Charlie's interests and what he likes to play. Callie and her family notice that sometimes Charlie becomes really quiet and seems distant, however. After visiting a doctor, Charlie’s mom is told he has autism, and the family learns that just because Charlie may not be able to say the words “I Love You”, he is still able to show his love in so many ways. 

Uses language that does not make disability seem outplaced. 
Focuses heavily on ASD but in an informative way
