    About this audiobook

    Ellen Notbohm's Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew has won the Bronze Medal in Psychology in the Foreword Book of the Year Awards, 2013, winner of an iParenting Media Award and Honorable Mention in the 2005 Foreword Book of the Year Awards. A bestseller gets even better! 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 describes ten characteristics that help illuminate-not define-children with autism. Ellen's personal experiences as a parent of children with autism and ADHD, a celebrated autism author, and a contributor to numerous publications, classrooms, conferences, and websites around the world coalesce to create a guide for all who come in contact with a child on the autism spectrum. This updated edition delves into expanded thought and deeper discussion of communication issues, social processing skills, and the critical roles adult perspectives play in guiding the child with autism to a meaningful, self-sufficient, productive life. A bonus section includes ten more essential, thought-provoking "things" to share with young people on the spectrum as they cross the threshold of adulthood. This new edition sounds an even more resonant call to action, carrying the reader farther into understanding the needs and the potential of every child with autism.

      it was a great book right up until chapter 10 were you informed us you sought wisdom from a psychic medium and then later encouraged us to vote. Neither of which had any bearing on this entire book and made me wonder if you were just a quack. But then I kept listening. One thing I will interject as people with mental disabilities aren't normal. You can try and twist that anyway you would like. But the fact that you had to write a book was because this is not a normal situation. no more than a child who has Downe syndrome or a person who has severe diabetes. That is not normal. Or it wouldn't have a title. I'm not saying it's wrong or bad to have either, but it's definitely not going to be able to be termed as normal or they wouldn't need special educational aides or assistance. Those are the things that make the child not "normal". If people would stop making that a bad word, we'd all get along much better.

      Very good beginner's guide. Good place to start. Quick easy read.

      I would say that this book is valuable as a starting point in learning about autism. It's very short (110 pages + Introduction). By no means does it cover any aspect of Autism in depth, but it's, as I said before, a starting point. Personally, I prefer books that cite studies that back up claims because I am a psychology major. I don't quite trust advice books that give advice of the cuff. Because, quite frankly, I could say anything as long as it sounded good and people would eat it all up. However, I do think this book gives a valuable voice because it's written by a mother of a child with autism. Clearly, throughout the book, you can sense that she loves her child very much. It gives a unique perspective of the disorder, that of the parent, and that makes the book valuable. However, again, due to lack of statistical evidence cited for claims, I gave this book 3 stars

      I found out that my friend's child had autism so I wanted to read as much as I could on it. I thought I'd start with this book. As I said it was an okay read. There was a lot of info in this book, but it was a lot longer than it needed to be. The Strengths: The first part of the book is fantastic! When she goes over the 10 things we need to know as parents, I really liked and I learned a lot. There are a lot of good suggestions for parents and teachers should know. I really liked that part of the book. The first part I highly suggest. The Weakness: For me this book falls short in a few places. The biggest issue I had with this is that the author talks as if she has a PhD, and she doesn't. She's a parents of a child with autism., She does give a lot of good suggestions, but she writes as if her word is law. There are a lot of levels of autism, and I had the feeling that she feels that every child has a severe case of autism. She mentions that children of autism needs a daily schedule, and they do. However, the author never gives an example. Again, I'm glad I read this book, and I didn't learn a lot, but I wish there was more. I consider this a 'starter' book. It has a lot of good ideas, but it's not perfect. I do plan to read other books on the subject.

      This book was a great insight about children with Autism. However, I don't think it's "guidelines" JUST apply to Autism... they can definitely apply to other disabilities as well. It's an easy and quick read and gives great explanations about Autism. It's not too wordy or confusing. Short, simple and to the point! I highly recommend this to parents, family members, friends and teachers. It's worth reading!
