My Autism Book. A Child’s Guide to their Autistic Spectrum Diagnosis
EXTRACTS FROM TESTIMONIALS FROM AMAZON READERS
‘A fantastic book. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this with my son…a unique way to teach children about their own diagnosis, in simple text… highly recommend it’
‘The best book for children on the spectrum’
'Absolutely brilliant. My 5 year old just got diagnosed with ASD and this book has been perfect in helping him to understand himself…. It's given us and him the language and opportunity to talk about it’
‘My daughter was very worried…but with this book she has found comfort and… understanding’
'This makes a change - the autistic child gets to fill bits in about their own, individual autism, as well as finding out about the condition in general. This has the *extremely* useful potential for handing to ‘stupid grown ups’ so that the ‘stupid grown ups’ can be a bit less stupid... I also liked the instructions for parents that this book should be filled in when a) there are few to no distractions, and b) when the child is receptive to the task. Finally ! Someone understands the twin needs.... It’s also good that we don’t get the ‘triad of impairments’: this is just so symptomatic of neuro-typicals objecting that we’re not like them. This book concentrates far more on *what is important to the autistic*: sensory stuff, routines and special interests; a ‘triad of needs’ if you will.'
