Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew by Ellen Notbohm
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, and 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. Ellen Notbohm's Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew has won the Bronze medal in Psychology in the ForeWord Book of the Year Awards in 2013, winner of an iParenting Media Award and Honorable Mention in the 2005 ForeWord Book of the Year Awards.
