The first book I'm reviewing is Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew, by Ellen Notbohm. Mrs. Notbohm is a mom of a teenage boy with autism. Her writing style is honest and down-to-earth. It feels like you are sitting down with her over a cup of coffee, swapping stories about your kids. She discusses the different therapies her son has had, and the fact that she never imposed limitations on him because of his diagnosis. She acknowledges the challenges that she and her family have faced and celebrates the successes (and there are many) that her son has achieved, including going on dates with girls.
This book is clearly laid out and easily navigable. The information is concise and provides a nice insight into the lives of those living with autism. A must-read for anyone who wants to improve their understanding of--and communication with--people with autism.
