Children with autism are often taught they have to adjust to our world and perceptions, because they play, communicate and take things in differently. As a mum, I have been experiencing that 'different' isn't always easy, but can be beautiful if you keep an open mind to it.

I was looking for a book that took into account the language- and stimulus processing of children with autism. A book...

I wrote My child's got autism: Don't Panic because a lot of our early intervention team said I should. Because when you first hear those words, in the cold harsh room of the doctors office - you panic. You are swept into a black hole of loss and fear. But it doesn't need to be that way. Autism gave us an insight into our son that we may have missed without it. We worked really hard to get to know our son and then help him reach out to others. The book talks about what we did to get there. Originally the book was in colour, and I still like it that way, but this way you can check out the book...
