"Childhood from the autistic perspective, and how we can do it better!" 'Dos and Don'ts' is an essential manual for parents and carers of kids on the autistic spectrum who want to make life a more joyful and positive experience for their children. It is an easy read - written with great humour and kindness by Katy Elphinstone, active member of the autistic community, and illustrated throughout by the cartoonist Matt Friedman (also the author of Dude, I'm an Aspie).

The book is arranged into topics, At home, Out and About, Friendship, Communication, Health and Hygiene, Bedtime and Sleep, Physical Contact and Emotions, and more. A wide range of day-to-day situations and probable challenges are covered. Suggestions are given from a deeply gentle and understanding perspective, both of the children themselves and of the difficulties and doubts we all experience as parents.
