The tips offered in this book encourage parents to change the way they think about autism and to help their children develop into confident, independent Adults with a positive Autistic identity..
It is based on the personal experiences of the contributors, divulging What has helped or hurt them as they navigated childhood and adulthood as Autistic individuals.
This information is especially important to parents and caregivers of Autistic children who may not realize how their vigorous attempts to do What is "best" for their children are actually having a negative impact on their social/emotional development.
Readers will learn a variety of easy-to-implement Advice on communication techniques, addressing sensory issues, behavior correction, facilitating friendships, educational advocacy, teaching self-advocacy skills, supporting the transition to college and the workforce, and more.
Instead, it prioritizes Advice asserted by Autistic individuals.
