✅ It is more inclusive – The original book was written for children with Asperger Syndrome, the new addition aims to reach most children on the Autism Spectrum. ✅ The new illustrations are more inclusive of typical children – so the child has a chance to see the behaviour of the angry boy in the playground from the perspective of their peers. ✅ Character names have been changed to be gender neutral and therefore more inclusive; so it’s now Danni & Charlie instead of Rufus and John. ✅ It has taken into account pupil’s perspectives. After going into schools, Kay learnt that many children disliked the picture of the Red Beast being caught in a net as it made the adults seems aggressive and uncaring. This has now been updated so the teachers are using gentle handling instead .
