You have probably always wanted to know what your loved one with Autism was thinking and why they do what they do. If you are like most of our clients, you probably have already tried getting help from a behavior therapist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, and so many more professionals. They have been able to offer some help, but your child still feels like a mystery. No matter how good a professional is, they can't get inside of your child's head. The only person who can tell you what it's really like to be Autistic is someone living with Autism. That's how we can help. This is Autism compiles stories of eleven Autistic adults who share what Autism means to them and how it has impacted their lives. Parents just like you who have heard the stories of our contributors through our panel Ask an Autistic that inspired this book are saying: "The opportunity to tune in and not only listen to, but interact with all the panelists on Ask An Autistic has honestly been one of the most valuable experiences I have ever had as a parent of an Autistic child. Everyone on the panel is so willing to offer candid advice, kind words and a listening ear, which is oftentimes hard to find. Jessica does a great job moderating and provides insightful feedback and examples of things she has experienced from a professional perspective as well. I have gleaned so much valuable information from this opportunity and will continue to join in weekly!" Leeza Woodbury Amazing opportunity for parents and professionals combined. I am a parent and professional. It was nice to gain insight and have my questions answered by those who know the most in the field, the Autistic community themselves. Great resource, valuable information!! Jessica Freeman "Having a newly diagnosed son on the spectrum is fear of the unknown. Interacting with the panel and watching these videos is my guide on my journey to parenting." R.P. Start understanding the best way to support your loved one today by picking up your copy of This is Autism. You will never look at Autism the same way again!

My Autism Book is a beautifully illustrated picture book that helps parents to explain an autism diagnosis to their child in a sensitive, positive and accurate way. When a child is diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), parents often feel overwhelmed and uncertain about how to communicate the diagnosis to their child. This book is designed to be read with the child as a simple introduction to their diagnosis. Written by a doctor and a children's author, the book is tailored precisely to the needs and experiences of the child with ASD aged 5-9. It explains what an autism diagnosis means and encourages an exploration of the child's likely strengths and differences using clear language that speaks directly to the child. The colourful pictures throughout show how the world looks from the child's perspective and the book ends with a summary checklist to encourage the child to record and discuss how autism affects them.

Chris and Andrew are very good friends, but sometimes Chris does things that Andrew doesn't understand. Chris can hear a fly buzzing when it's a mile away! But he doesn't like bright flashing lights like the ones on Andrew's favourite arcade game. Chris and Andrew have lots of fun together, but at times they laugh at completely different things - it doesn't matter though, because everyone is different, and being different can be rather cool! Chris and Andrew are here to help people understand the experiences of a child with autism, and how others can help by understanding how they are different, and recognising their many unique talents. This fully-illustrated book is targeted at boys and girls aged 5+, and also serves as an excellent starting point for family and classroom discussions.

Logan overhears his grandma tell her friend he has autism, and he asks her, "Autism is...'" She explains it to him in this beautifully illustrated story.Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a disability that, according to new statistics released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on March 29, 2014, affects an estimated 1 out of 68 children (1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls) in the US alone. It is a spectrum disorder because its impact on development can range from mild to severe. The areas of development most affected are social interaction and communication skills, difficulties with verbal and non-verbal communication, and leisure play.Someone wisely said, "If you have met one person with autism, you have met one person with autism." The characteristics are different with each unique individual, and so are the ways to interact, teach, and care for them.You may or may not wish to explain the term autism to your child at a young age, but if you do, I hope this book can help make it easier for you, as it did for me when explaining autism to Logan. His inquisitive mind wanted to know, and once he read this story, even before it was illustrated, he was satisfied with the answer.

The face of autism is changing. And more often than we realize, that face is wearing lipstick. Autism in Heels, an intimate memoir, reveals the woman inside one of autism’s most prominent figures, Jennifer O'Toole. At the age of thirty-five, Jennifer was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, and for the first time in her life, things made sense. Now, Jennifer exposes the constant struggle between carefully crafted persona and authentic existence, editing the autism script with wit, candor, passion, and power. Her journey is one of reverse-self-discovery not only as an Aspie but--more importantly--as a thoroughly modern woman. Beyond being a memoir, Autism in Heels is a love letter to all women. It’s a conversation starter. A game changer. And a firsthand account of what it is to walk in Jennifer's shoes (especially those iconic red stilettos). Whether it's bad perms or body image, sexuality or self-esteem, Jennifer's is as much a human journey as one on the spectrum. Because autism "looks a bit different in pink," most girls and women who fit the profile are not identified, facing years of avoidable anxiety, eating disorders, volatile relationships, self-harm, and stunted independence. Jennifer has been there, too. Autism in Heels takes that message to the mainstream. From her own struggles and self-discovery, she has built an empire of empowerment, inspiring women the world over to realize they aren't mistakes. They are misunderstood miracles.
