Autism has long been considered a boys' condition, but there is more to this story. The truth is, autism looks different in women and girls. They're much better at masking their autistic characteristics. This book provides the perspective needed to see how autism manifests in gendered ways, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis.
Challenging misconceptions about parenting and neurodiversity, the book argues that autistic individuals can be excellent parents, countering the belief that their neurodiversity disqualifies them. It emphasizes personal choice in the decision to become a parent, asserting that the capability to raise children is not determined by one's neurological makeup. The narrative promotes understanding and acceptance of diverse parenting experiences, advocating for the rights of autistic individuals to make their own choices about parenthood.
The book offers guidance for parents homeschooling children on the autism spectrum, addressing the unique challenges they face. It provides strategies for creating a tailored learning environment that aligns with each child's strengths and learning styles. Through engaging activities and practical tips, parents can seamlessly integrate education into daily life. The inclusion of relatable fictional characters—Distractible Dory, Hyper-focused Hermione, and Creative Calvin—illustrates personalized approaches to homeschooling, making it easier for families to connect and adapt.
Provides practical strategies, positive interventions and evidence-based practice which can prevent common behaviour problems before they occur. Basic information on the science of behaviour analysis is presented in straight- forward, easy-to-understand language.
