I loved this. It’s super helpful if you have a child with ASD, or even if you only know someone who does. Loveson has great ideas on how to support kids and teens with autism. It’s got tips and tricks, as well as suggestions for online support for both parents and their kids. It’s refreshingly upbeat, when so many times we parents beat ourselves up when we make mistakes. I would definitely read more from Loveson.

This is available now!

Thank you to NetGalley and Ausome Parenting for the advance copy. All opinions are mine alone.

This is a great book for parents of children and teens diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as well as other types of neurodivergence. Neurodivergent children, such as those with ASD often have a difficult time interpreting social cues, and maintaining friendships, despite having a deep desire for friendships. This book is a great resource for parents with lots of great tips and tricks, as well avi additional sources for further reading.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC. These opinions are my own.

Very accessible and filled with solid advice for helping autistic children navigate friendships.

I found the authors website and further resources very helpful.

For anyone experiencing autism for the first time, whether it's your own child, another loved one, a child in your classroom or you want to enter the field of ABA, this book is for you. I've been in and around the field since 2012 when I graduated college and there were pieces of this book that were new to me, let alone someone who has no clue where to start. I will be sharing this book with all the parents that come through my center as a jumping off point. This book is well written, well thought out and gives much detail on how to handle different social relationships - whether good or bad. Is your child being bullied or having a hard time making friends? This helps guide you where to go with that. Do they want a romantic relationship? This book can help there too, to start. Encourage all parents or anyone (because let's face it, we all are around children and adults on the spectrum throughout our lives), to read this book and learn the difficulties neurodivergent people have to overcome to live in our society.

This book is perfect for a parent/family member/friend of an autistic child this will help you with your unique journey. This guide provides practical strategies to help your child build social confidence, make friends, and embrace their way of connecting with the world.
