This reads like a best friend’s guide to autism. Elley’s honesty, warmth, and positive outlook shine through making this a truly readable, relatable and hopeful book. Between the lines there is a wealth of useful information, understanding and valuable signposts to further reading. An especially great read for those new to autism. I highly recommend this book! – Adele Devine, Special Needs Teacher and Co-Founder of SEN Assist autism softwareBright, witty, and upbeat, Debby Elley’s book is a heartfelt plea for people to understand the world as those with autism see it, backed up by lots of practical examples of how to do it. As entertaining to read as it is thought-provoking. – Peter Sutcliffe, SEN Magazine EditorThis book is full of real-life humour, tongue-in-cheek truth telling, and front-line, in-the-trenches parenting know-how. – Jennifer Cook O’Toole, author of The Asperkid’s (Secret) Book of Social RulesThis is a great book…It’s chatty, supportive, informative and will work as an antidote to more clinical, research based publications…Synthesising her experience over many years, she is a powerful advocate for positive parenting. Highly recommended. – Mary Mountstephen, Educational and Neuro-developmental Delay Specialist * Mary Mountstephen, Educational and Neuro-developmental Delay Specialist *
