Product Description
Review
Ellen captures the major issues of autism and makes them understandable and useable, even to those new to spectrum disorders. --Nancy H. Cale, Vice President, Unlocking Autism
I have been working as an educator/therapist with children with autism for five years now and I feel a deep resonance with Ellen s books, as the writings are based on the same system of belief that I have always tried to work from. --Lindsay Ronald, intervention therapist

Product Description
Framed with both humour and compassion, this book defines the top ten characteristics that illuminate the minds and hearts of children with autism. Ellen s personal experiences as a parent, an autism columnist, and a contributor to numerous parenting magazines coalesce to create a guide for all who come in contact with a child on the autism spectrum. Every parent, teacher, social worker, therapist, and physician should have this succinct and informative book in their back pocket. Table of Content Chapter 1: I am first and foremost a child Chapter 2: My sensory perceptions are disordered Chapter 3: Distinguish between won t and can t Chapter 4: I am a concrete thinker. I interpret language literally Chapter 5: Be patient with my limited vocabulary Chapter 6: Because language is so difficult for me, I am very visually oriented Chapter 7: Focus and build on what I can do rather than what I can t do Chapter 8: Help me with social interactions Chapter 9: Identify what triggers my meltdowns Chapter 10: Love me unconditionally

Format:Paperback
I bought this book to learn more about Autism as my son was recently diagnosed as being on the spectrum. This is a fantastic book and clearly explains how and why the child reacts in certain ways and situations. I'd recommend it to anyone dealing with a child with Autism; parents, carers, teaching assistants etc to give a brilliant insight into the child's mind. It's been such an insightful book that I've now bought 2 extra copies to loan to people who are working with my son. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I was optimistic about reading this book. Things seem to be a whole lot worse after you have read about your childs problems, but not with this book, it's really, really good. Informative, truthful, easy to read and understand. This book has helped me understand my little girls world a bit better and to me that is an achievement for her and for me!! This gave me a much clearer picture of how she interprets things and how bad things can get for her(smells, sounds, lighting etc).If you need to know more about AS then, please read this book.
