The Awesome Autistic Guide to Being Proud by Tanya Masterman
This awesome guide introduces autistic kids to the autistic community and promotes positive self-image by encouraging them to take pride in their identity and find their own place in the community.Words like 'self-acceptance' or 'celebrate who you are' seem common. But it's hard to do. Travel with Min and learn together how being autistic is something to be proud of. It's who we are. We never need to apologize or copy others. Be proud! -- Dr. Wenn B. Lawson (PhD)
