Product Description
Winner of an iParenting Media Award and Honorable Mention in the 2005 ForeWord Book of the Year Awards! 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 defines the top ten characteristics that illuminate the minds and hearts of children with autism. Ellen's personal experiences as a parent, an autism columnist, and a contributor to numerous parenting magazines coalesce to create a guide for all who come in contact with a child on the autism spectrum. Don't buy just one of this book- buy one for everyone who interacts with your child! Give the gift of understanding.
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

A beautiful, inspiring book,
By
This review is from: Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew (Paperback)
This was the first book I bought after my son (age 32 months) was diagnosed with autism just over one month ago. To be honest, I was a mess - I felt so helpless, so hopeless. I started to feel better after the few first pages - THIS was what I need to know, THIS was what I had needed to hear! It really helped me gain back my perspective after feeling like my whole world had been blown apart by this diagnosis. It was still a difficult adjustment but we're all doing really well and are excited for the future.

Just received a diagnosis of Autism? This is THE book to start with!,

This review is from: Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew (Paperback)
This is THE book to get you started on your journey of knowledge through Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It is easy to understand, gives a quick overview in the first 20 pages, then expands on all 10 areas covering one end of the spectrum to the other. Ms. Notbohm uses her own experience with her son to lead us through the maze that is ASD in her family. All the way along she provides us with the one thing we all yearn for and that is HOPE. This book is a MUST READ for any parent, grandparent or friend of someone dealing with ASD. Nowhere in this book will you find the words 'cure' or 'recover' but you will find the words 'choice' and 'success'. This book is truly a useful tool for ALL of us who have children in our lives who just happen to have autism. One of the few authors I have come across who is truly also 'reader-friendly.'

A good book to read to get your mind in the right place,

This review is from: Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew (Paperback)
Having just found out our youngest has an ASD this summer, we've been on a blitz to get information. I've found this book to be very helpful (and hopeful) to get in the right mindset (a positive one). I have attracted myself to many of the concepts presented here (a can-do attitude instead of the popular can't-do attitude). This book is a good book to start with. It is an introduction into the journey ahead of you. It's not a clinical journal, yet it's informative; It's not a silly story, yet it is light and the anecdotes are funny. I'm glad I've read this at the beginning of my journey.
