Review: Great wee book, I myself have looked after lots of autistic children in my career, and I wish this book was available sooner. It has really great suggestions for hobbies and interests that children may like, and also has in-depth details of what may be needed etc. Having an autistic child in your life can be a challenge, but it is also fascinating, and if they can find an interest that isn’t a screen, it will help them thrive. I highly recommend.
