Ellen Notbohm - Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew

The FIRST book you should read when your child is diagnosed. Written by a mum with fantastic insight into the world of autism, through the childs eyes, and having a son of her own with ASD really shines through in the book. It is an intelligent and empathetic book written FOR our children. Ellen Notbohm is an amazing mother and author! Have bought this book for ALL my family.

This book has become my Bible! Was like someone had switched on a light after reading it! Brilliant!!

Becky Gillingham

This book is the only one that explained my son 100%. Nobody, not even medical doctors, were able to explain to me what my son is feeling. I often used to say, I wish I could see through his eyes for just one day. This book made that possible.

After reading many autism books, this was the one for me. I laughed and cried my way through it. It gave me a sense of peace and relief to know I wasnt the only one who understood what was going on. It gave me relevant strategies and brought new concepts that were actually helpful. This book was about my son and I loved how positive it was!

(Ellen) and Bryce are my heroes, and changed my life in ways I cant describe, (as) Ten Things changed our family.

This was the first and only autism book I read after diagnosis. Positive and inspirational, it made me think about it from my sons view and not a parents point of view. With every struggle or change or thought, I now always try to see it from his view and this enables me to think about how to help him in a different way.

Absolutely Ten Things changed the way I looked at my sons behavior. Having it written from the childs point of view that really resonated with me and my husbandthe parts about sensory issues and how not to use metaphors when speaking. That was huge for us. I bought several copies and gave it to teachers as well. Whenever Im asked for book recommendations explaining autism, its the first book I suggest.

I recently used [a summary of Ten Things] as a supplement to an autism presentation I gave to firefighter/paramedics. It was a HUGE hit! Prior to this, I made my family members read it as well. What great insight for them to have! Thank you again.

Ray Di Lisi

I love this book, and made it available to [my sons] school team as well. For us, it reiterated and clarified that our son does the absolute best every day to manage his world, and that we need to acknowledge and be proactive in providing him the best possibilities in his day.

It is as important as the Declaration on Human Rights in France in 1789, no less.

Your book Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew is both my four-year-old sons and my own favorite book at the moment. For me, its the insight and that its everything Ive ever wanted to tell the people around us, but did not have the words for. For him, its the fingers on the cover. We both thank you.
