TEN THINGS EVERY CHILD WITH AUTISM WISHES YOU KNEW

Ellen Notbohm

Updated and Expanded Edition, including all-new study/discussion guide. The autism commmunity’s most beloved book gets even better.
Brimming with insight, compassion, and spirited humor, Ellen Notbohm’s timeless book describes ten characteristics that help illuminate—not define—children with autism. This updated edition delves into expanded thought and deeper discussion of communication issues, social processing skills, and the critical role adult perspectives play in guiding the child with autism to a meaningful, self-sufficient, productive life.

Picking up where the original edition left off, new text explores ten more essential, thought-provoking “things” to share with young people on the spectrum as they cross the threshold of adulthood, and a thoughtful appendix offers more than 70 questions suitable for group discussion or self-reflection.

A perennial autism bestseller, Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew now sounds an even more resonant call to action, carrying the reader farther into understanding the needs and the potential of every child with autism.

Ellen Notbohm, author, columnist and mother of two sons with ADHD and autism, has been published on every continent (okay, not Antarctica). Her work informs and delights millions in more than 21 languages (between her three books). Her titles have won numerous honors, including a Silver Medal in the Independent Publishers Book Awards and three ForeWord Book of Year finalist designations. She is a regular columnist for Autism Asperger's Digest and Children's Voice. She also writes for Ancestry magazine, the Chicago Tribune, and other papers.

How wonderful that Ellen Notbohm's classic, Ten Things Every Child With Autism Wishes You Knew, is here for a new generation! If your child has been diagnosed with autism, or if you think that your child may have autism, this is the first book that you should read.

Ten Things is so essential that I recommend it constantly!

This third edition is amazing, and an absolute must-read. Ellen has absorbed so much more wisdom from both the autism world and the autistic world and poured it into her work, and I'm floored. Buy this book, read it, loan it, share it, then read it again!

Ten Things is the gold standard as an autism publication: practical, useful, enlightening, and a wonderful guide.

I wouldn't have believed that Ellen Notbohm could improve on her original classic, the excellent Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew, but she has done just that. Speaking as a parent, as one who works with autistic people, and as an avid reader on the subject, I'm telling you: you must have this book on your shelf. Parents who made it through your child's early years with hope and optimism intact because you had the original Ten Things, you need this update. Notbohm will take you from the preschool years through middle school, high school, and beyond, continuing to inform and inspire parents as they prepare their children for adulthood. The questions for discussion and reflection are perfect for parent support groups, teacher trainings, or book clubs. Optimism abounds.

The book I found most helpful and most hopeful after my son's diagnosis. I've recommended it to many parents and, like me, they've fallen completely in love with it.

Empowers the individual to have control in a world that in many ways feels out of control. A must-have for your autism resource collection.

A superb explanation of how sensory processing challenges can affect a child’s behavior, and how occupational therapy in a sensory integration framework can effect wondrous changes!

Parents will find a compassionate, astute ally who has lived the journey...Ten Things contains a remarkable amount of detailed information, helpful suggestions, and concrete strategies. Realistic, practical, and uplifting.

Great book for the parent of a child who is newly diagnosed. It will help the parent who is frightened by the diagnosis get started on creating a positive outcome for their child.

Ellen Notbohm reminds us once again that we should learn more than we teach and that we should listen more than we talk. This new edition of Ten Things emphasizes these points and offers readers new material and dozens of rich questions for discussion.

Essential reading for people who are important in your child's life, to help them understand your child's complex social, sensory, behavioral, and emotional challenges ...helps readers recognize that while they may feel overwhelmed, they are never powerless.
