Rose wants to learn and have fun, but when she feels like she’s being bossed around, she gets upset. Rose might yell or run away, even if she really wants to do what’s being asked. Rose can't help how her brain reacts.

Rose's mum and her teacher decide to try something different. What will happen if they stop telling her exactly what to do and give Rose choices and time to think?

With charming illustrations and a story that rhymes, "Don't Tell Me What to Do!" explains why kids like Rose act differently in a fun, easy-to-understand way. A must-read for families, teachers, and anyone who wants to better understand the experience of an autistic kid with a Pathological Demand Avoidance profile. Don't miss this delightful book that celebrates neurodiversity and autonomy!
