Although autism spectrum disorder is not named directly in Clovis is afraid of clouds, this phobia is part of this new story imagined by Guylaine Guay and illustrated by Orbie. Mother of two now adult autists, Guylaine was inspired by a situation she and her son Clovis experienced when he was a child. The story of the little blonde with curly curls and his mother is tender, full of love and compassion, and openness to others.
