We know that the idea of a Red Beast is usually understood by children with Asperger’s, however, other children with Autism may take the metaphor quite literally and become distressed at the thought of a real beast inside of them.
The addition of the sentence “Let’s imagine that… “ at the start of the story means you can discuss the idea that the beast is not real – it is imaginary, pretend or make believe.
2. 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.
