Something I could share with my autistic son (10 years old) to help him understand himself better.
This is just what I was looking for!
Most autism books I've found tend to have a lot of content on the downsides of autism, which is fine, but probably not what a newly diagnosed child wants to hear.
This is positive without overdoing it and going on about superpowers and stuff like that.
It does include some of the negative issues that can occur with autism but it's done in a nice way.
Highly recommended for parents and children with autism alike.
I would recommend it to everyone, not just people with an autistic person in their life, because it's a great tool for understanding. It was good to read Q&As from people with autism, I've noted all of the books and YouTube videos to pick up and watch and I feel totally equipped to have the conversation with my son now.
This was of interest as I have an autistic nephew
A great little book - lots of interesting information, perceptions of autism and how to deal with the initial awkwardness
Also, I feel it gets the conversation going and blasts some perceptions people have generally about the condition
