Synopsis

Winner of the Grand Prize for Instruction and Insight and First Place in Psychology, Chanticleer International Book Awards

One of the autism community’s most beloved classics, Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew has informed, delighted, and guided millions of families and professionals the world over since its first edition was published in 2005.

A child’s voice leads into each chapter, offering a one-of-a-kind exploration into how ten core characteristics of autism affect our children’s perceptions and reactions to the surrounding physical, sensory and social environments. This revised and updated third
edition sharpens the focus on these basic aspects while expanding on how our own perspectives shape the life of our child and ourselves, today, tomorrow, and for years to come. An all-new section illuminates the surprising breadth of our power of choice and
outlines potent strategies for strong decision-making in every situation.

Every parent, teacher, social worker, therapist, and physician should have this succinct and informative book in their back pocket. Framed with both humor and compassion, the book lists the top ten characteristics that help illuminate—not define—children with
autism. Ellen's personal experiences as a parent, an autism columnist, and a contributor to numerous parenting magazines coalesce to create this guide for anyone with someone on the autism spectrum in their life.

Goodreads review by Jonathan on September 08, 2017

This book really only has two points, which the author makes repeatedly: 1. Adjust your expectations according to your child's actual capabilities. You might have to learn what those are first. They will be different than those of other children, but not necessarily less. 2. Have some perspective and......more

Goodreads review by Kristen on October 06, 2008

While this book does offer a great summary of some of the characteristics of kids with autism, I felt the overriding tone was one of "get over it and look on the bright side." And that didn't feel like the kind of help I am looking for right now.......more

Goodreads review by Ashley on June 18, 2019

A decent introduction to some of the issues in the lives of people with autism. However, since it is written by an incredibly proactive parent, the soapbox-style narration can be a little trying at times.......more
