By Ellen Notbohm

A must-have for parents to read and share. Filled with deep, from-the-heart wisdom, this book helps provide the insight needed to better understand, love and support an autistic family member.

Helpful chapters include:

• My sensory perceptions are disordered
• Distinguish between won’t and can’t
• I am a concrete thinker. I interpret language literally
• Be patient with my limited vocabulary
• Because language is so difficult for me, I am very visually oriented
• Focus and build on what I can do rather than what I can’t do
• Help me with social interactions
• Identify what triggers my meltdowns
