Little Marcos is a boy with autism from Mairena del Aljarafe, in Seville. He had some difficulties adjusting when he started school – he wasn’t used to being with so many other children and it made him nervous. For this reason, his mother, Iria Juaneda, has written ‘Marcos and the Moon’, a story inspired by her son, and his quirks, which she is hoping will teach his classmates how to understand and help him.
