Sincerely, Your Autistic Child
One of the best things about tapping into the resources that Autistic adults provide is that, unlike the experts, they don’t insist that there is one way to learn and progress.Beth Ryan
Overview: This book is a must-read for anyone who teaches, interacts with, or parents an Autistic child. It offers deep insight into the lived experiences of Autistic people, sharing a wide range of authentic voices.
Who this book is for: Parents, teachers, or anyone seeking a better understanding of the Autistic perspective.
Key Takeaways:
- Autonomy matters: Autistic people need to have control over their own lives—too often decisions are made for them without their input.
- Celebrate diversity: Every Autistic person is unique, and every voice deserves respect.
- Social skills aren’t obvious: Because they can struggle to read intentions, Autistic people sometimes get taken advantage of. Guidance on friendships, boundaries, and self-advocacy is key.
- Rethink “therapy”: Instead of forcing rigid routines or conformity, the focus should be on teaching Autistic people how to set boundaries and confidently say no.
