Help children understand their autism and thrive with this positive guide for kids ages 8 to 12.

We all think differently. This notion is celebrated in Autism and Me, a guide that helps children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) gain a better understanding of how their brain works. The book highlights positive ASD traits while showing kids how they can work through some of its challenges as well.

Unlike some other autism books for kids, this guide offers:

Awesome activities: Interactive exercises encourage kids to apply the concepts discussed in a fun, low-stakes way, from fill-in-the-blanks and multiple choice quizzes to drawing and colouring.

Proven strategies: From improving communication skills to developing self-care habits, kids will find strategies to help them better navigate school, social functions, and family life.

True stories: Each chapter begins with real-life anecdotes, offering relatable experiences from others on the autism spectrum and helping kids feel less alone.

Kids will learn to manage emotions, make friends, and flourish with this strengths-based autism book.
