"So much to love about this book; - neuro-affirming - non pathologizing - by an autistic parent - joyful & funny - list format is easy to read - practical - makes you feel empowered - actually enjoyable to read!" #ActuallyAutistic #ParentingTips #Autism #Neurodivergent

🙏🥰

Please don't ask children to 'get into pairs (or groups)', without grouping them yourself or setting ground rules to include everyone. This is traumatising each time, to the rejected or invisible children who get left out. #Education #School #Teaching #ActuallyAutistic
