Synopsis

This is a book that will never become irrelevant or outdated. Every child who uses it also becomes its “co-author”. Each chapter is divided in two parts: the first part – the “Workbook” – is for the child to complete, by writing or highlighting “What is True for Me” in lists of simple statements. The second part – “For Parents and Teachers” – contains helpful tips/information for the adult who guides him through the exercises. The book will provide insight into your child’s mind, and make him/her more self-aware, learning what autism means in relation to crucial areas of his/her life: friendships, fears, abilities, and much more.
