Stories To Make You Smile by Rachel Hore
Emmy thrives on routine, as many autistic kids do. Changes to the school schedule make her anxious. When she has a dentist appointment one morning and her mom needs to pick her up from school, she gets upset about the schedule changes. How will she manage? Includes a glossary of important words and tips for managing change. Every child with autism is different. But they struggle with many of the same things, including executive functioning. This fictional story shows how an autistic child can cope with the daily challenges created by neurodiversity. Designed for elementary-aged kids, this title encourages understanding and acceptance--essential parts of social-emotional learning (SEL).
