Summary of Ellen Notbohm's Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Perspective is everything when it comes to autism. When people who don’t have autism frame its challenges only through the lens of their own experiences, they unwittingly close the door to alternative thinking that could help those with autism or Asperger’s syndrome overcome their obstacles. #2 Your child’s autism does not mean that they will not be able to live full, joyous, and meaningful lives. You may be scared, but you must believe that your child’s quality of life is at stake if you don’t do everything within your power to help them. #3 Autism is complex, but its primary elements are sensory processing challenges, communication delays, elusive social thinking and interaction skills, and whole child/self-esteem issues. #4 The four elements of social, cognitive, and physical learning are common to many children with autism, but every child with autism is different, and each parent, teacher, and caregiver will be at a different point on the spectrum.
