“This third edition of Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew is without exception the best yet! As an international consultant on ASD who works with individuals, schools, and parents, I have used this resource as a core teaching tool in most of my trainings, especially with staff who are new to the field of Special Education and/or working with an individual with ASD. I was really excited to see the new chapter on Your Power of Choice. As Ellen writes: ‘Seldom is the instance in which we truly have no choices,’ and this is so true. It empowers the individual to have control in a world that in many ways feels out of control. This book is a must have for your autism resource collection.”

Winner of the Grand Prize for Instruction and Insight and First Place in Psychology, Chanticleer International Book Awards One of the autism community’s most beloved classics, Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew has informed, delighted, and guided millions of families and professionals the world over since its first edition was published in 2005. A child’s voice leads into each chapter, offering a one-of-a-kind exploration into how ten core characteristics of autism affect our children’s perceptions and reactions to the surrounding physical, sensory and social environments. This revised and updated third edition sharpens the focus on these basic aspects while expanding on how our own perspectives shape the life of our child and ourselves, today, tomorrow, and for years to come. An all-new section illuminates the surprising breadth of our power of choice and outlines potent strategies for strong decision-making in every situation. Every parent, teacher, social worker, therapist, and physician should have this succinct and informative book in their back pocket. Framed with both humor and compassion, the book lists the top ten characteristics that help illuminate—not define—children with autism. Ellen's personal experiences as a parent, an autism columnist, and a contributor to numerous parenting magazines coalesce to create this guide for anyone with someone on the autism spectrum in their life.
