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. — Temple Grandin, PhD, Author of The Way I See It and Thinking in Pictures
The 20th Anniversary Edition of Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew commemorates the timeless insights of one of the autism community’s most beloved classics.
Translated into more than 25 languages, Ten Things has transcended geographic, cultural, and socio-economic boundaries to guide and inspire millions of families and professionals worldwide since the first edition was published in 2005. A child’s voice leads into each chapter, presenting an authentic exploration into how ten core characteristics of autism affect our children’s perceptions and reactions to the surrounding physical, sensory and social environments.
Framed with humor and compassion, the book helps to illuminate—not define—autistic children. The 2019 third edition sharpened the focus on these basic aspects, while expanding on how our own perspectives shape the life of our child and ourselves, in daily life and for years to come. A compelling new section explains the surprising breadth of our power of choice and outlines potent strategies for strong decision-making in every situation
Ellen's experiences as a parent, author, and contributor to numerous parenting, education, and health publications coalesce to create this guide for those with someone on the autism spectrum in their life. Countless parents, teachers, social workers, and therapists call Ten Things a back-pocket necessity

This is a great book. It has been written with child in mind, but it is not a picture book, so is aimed at an older child (around 10 years depending on the child’s needs), yet it is not condescending in any way. In addition to the child’s part is a part for the adults in the family, where the language is again appropriate. I have not read this cover to cover with my student, but have dipped into it at different times to help him to understand himself. I’d highly recommend.

This is a nice little book and is a good read for any parent of a child with autism. Its lovely as its all from the point of the child and is quite uplifting and positive which makes a nice change!

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review
This book is pretty 101 so if you’ve already read (or lived) a decent amount about ASD there may not be a ton of new information, but if this is new and you are a NT parent really trying to understand your ASD child for the time, this is a great place to start. Should definitely be mandatory reading for any one who works with kids

Such an informative, interesting book. Having a child with autism myself, I am always wanting to learn more about autism and to get as much information and knowledge as I can. When I seen this book for request on netgalley I requested it right away and was thrilled to have been given an eARC of this book to read and share my review with others.
If you want to know more about autism, whether you know next to nothing about autism already or know quite a bit, this novel will definitely be a great read to add to your collection.

This book was suggested to me by another mom. I have a Daughter with Autism she is 9. I wish I would have found this book sooner. It is a book you will read again and again or just use as a reference to back to. I think grandparents and teachers should all read this book because it help you understand Autism through a different view or just understand it if you don’t! I loved this book even though I already know a lot about Autism. Thanks NetGalley!!
