For Parents & Professionals: The Complicated Choices of Charlie and Caroline series explores the world and misadventures of two best friends on the autism spectrum as they engage in every day situations. These books were written with the high functioning autistic child in mind. The particularity of autistic language pragmatics is taken into consideration. For example, there are no "talking animals," and elements of every day life common to children on the autism spectrum (e.g. picture schedules, Time Timers, difficulties with transitions, tantrums, and meltdowns) are taken into consideration without making them -- or autism -- the focus of the story. These books take the autistic child's quirky sense of humor in stride and respect his need to take control and explore social situations by giving him choices to be "in someone else's shoes." The child is given a safe way to take social risks by making choices and exploring various natural consequences through a "choose-the-outcome" method of storytelling. In this way, parents and children develop tools to solve behavioral difficulties that arise from real-life social situations while also reading relatable, funny, and engaging stories that appeal to every and any kid.
Proceeds from the sale of Wrenchworks Media books, apps, and other tools fund the development of very-much-needed materials for children with special needs, their families, and their educators. From books and apps to occupational therapy and speech therapy kits to the development of eye-gaze driven switch hardware for tablets, Wrenchworks Media and Whack A Wrench Inc. intend to support exceptional kids and their peers all the way.
