A bestseller gets even better!  Every parent, teacher, social worker, therapist, and physician should have this succinct and informative book in their back pocket. Framed with both humor and compassion, the book describes ten characteristics that help illuminate—not define—children with autism.
Ellen’s personal experiences as a parent of children with autism and ADHD, a celebrated autism author, and a contributor to numerous publications, classrooms, conferences, and websites around the world coalesce to create a guide for all who come in contact with a child on the autism spectrum. This updated edition delves into expanded thought and deeper discussion of communication issues, social processing skills, and the critical roles adult perspectives play in guiding the child with autism to a meaningful, self-sufficient, productive life.
A bonus section includes ten more essential, thought-provoking “things” to share with young people on the spectrum as they cross the threshold of adulthood, and an appendix of more than seventy questions suitable for group discussion or self-reflection. This new edition sounds an even more resonant call to action, carrying the reader farther into understanding the needs and the potential of every child with autism.

Quotes

  • Anna Orlyanskayahas quoted7 years ago
    For many children with autism, the visual sense is their strongest. The good news/bad news is that while they rely more heavily upon visual input to learn and to navigate their world, it can be the first sense to become overstimulated.
  • Anna Orlyanskayahas quoted7 years ago
    Sensory integration may be the most difficult aspect of autism to understand, but it’s arguably the most critical.

    There is no shortcut to anyplace worth going.
