This is essential reading for people who are important in your child's life, to help them understand your child's complex and sometimes baffling social, sensory, behavioral, and emotional challenges. This book gives a powerful voice to kids, teens, and adults who can't easily advocate for themselves, providing an 'inside view' of the different realities of life with autism. The new chapter on 'Your Power of Choice' compassionately helps readers recognize that while they may feel overwhelmed, scared, and sometimes paralyzed, they are never powerless, and provides key empowering steps they can take to help those they love thrive and live meaningful, productive lives.\"\u003cbr\u003e-- Lindsey Biel, Occupational Therapist, Coauthor of \u003ci\u003eRaising a Sensory Smart Child: The Definitive Book for Helping Your Child with Sensory Processing Issues\u003c\/i\u003e, Author of \u003ci\u003eSensory Processing Strategies: Effective Clinical Work with Kids \u0026amp; Teens\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"As a parent, as one who works with autistic people, and as an avid reader on the subject, I'm telling you: you must have this book on your shelf.
