The guide discusses differing strengths, social preferences, interests and repeated movements, and aims to help children understand and accept themselves.
The book offers strategies for communication, making and keeping friends, school, routines and getting support from family and helpers.
Topics include intense emotions and behaviours, symptom management, hygiene and toileting. These may feel personal; consider which sections your child wants to explore together and which to leave for another time.
