Fifteen Things They Forgot to Tell You about Autism

What if the information you're traditionally getting is not all you need to know about autism. Combining jargon-busting advice with personal experience, this book from the mother of autistic twins shares simple strategies to build children's confidence, communication, and independence. From sharing the joy of yodelling around shops at the weekend, to finding creative ways to communicate with both her verbal and her non-verbal sons, Debby Elley gives practical and fun tips for everyday living and shows that being autistic means difference, not disability. Both witty and candid, the book discusses labels, meltdowns, acceptance, happiness and many other lessons through more than a decade of autism parenting.
