Vibrant and quirky illustrated book explaining autism from a child’s point of view.

Taryn and Jake are best friends who have lots of similarities and lots of differences. One of the differences is that Jake has autism and Taryn doesn’t, which means they can act differently sometimes. Taryn knows that people with autism are often mistaken for being naughty when it’s actually a natural way for their brain to react. Fed up with everyone not understanding, Taryn decides to let the world know why Jake isn’t naughty! Join Taryn as she candidly explains her understanding of autism, and why there’s always a reason behind everything Jake does.

This distinctively illustrated book is a quick and quirky way to explain to friends and family why children with autism behave the way they do. Unique visuals provide a great sense of what it’s truly like to have autism, making this the perfect book for children aged 6–10 to learn about autism.

An illustrated guide which explains cancer, and the impact it can have, to children aged 5–11, inclusive of those with ASD or other special needs.

Cancer is a difficult topic for any parent, caregiver or educator to explain to a child. This book is designed to help kids, including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or other additional needs, to understand what it means when someone in their life has cancer.

Using a question and answer format, it explores the life changes and feelings of uncertainty a child may experience if a loved one has cancer. Illustrated with SymbolStix, a symbol-based language for visual thinkers, this book explains a difficult topic to children who might otherwise struggle to understand it. The book also features a short picture story that repeats the complete story for children who process information best through visual cues.

Additional guidance for parents and caregivers provides ideas to help children cope with this experience.

Considering the questions a child might have about divorce, it gently offers answers to them using straightforward text and clear illustrations. Perfect for children aged 5–11 with Autism Spectrum Disorder or other special needs, or for concrete or visual learners.

Expert advice from best-selling author Dawn Huebner to help 6–12-year-olds manage sadness and fear about troubling world events.

When we learn about something bad – even when we hear only bits and pieces of it – our brains get busy trying to make sense of what we’ve heard. Seeing distressing events in the news, or hearing about them later, can feel scary and overwhelming. Talking about what happened, and how we feel about it, is hugely important.

Something Bad Happened guides children aged 6–12 and the adults who care about them through tough conversations about news of large-scale events, addressing questions such as: “Where did it happen?”, “Why did it happen?” and “Will it happen again?”

Feelings like sadness, fear and confusion are normalized, and coping tools provided.

For children and parents to read together, or by a child with a parent nearby, this helpful resource by a child psychologist and best-selling author provides comfort, support and action plans for children learning about the big bad things happening in our world.

This easy-to-follow illustrated book from a best-selling author presents strategies for 9–13-year-olds with anxiety. It teaches them about a specific set of skills that makes it easier to face and overcome worries and fears, and normalizes their symptoms, providing a set of concrete steps to overcome them.

The tried and tested techniques are based on the most up-to-date psychological treatments of anxiety, including CBT and ACT.

The go-to accessible guide to working memory issues for kids with SpLDs. Why can’t I remember what my parents just asked me to do?

Why do I feel stressed out at school when the teacher is writing on the board and talking at the same time? What can I do about it?

Working memory issues affect a huge proportion of kids with learning differences like ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ASD. These issues can make them feel frustrated or bored, as working memory and intelligence are two different things. Kids with working memory problems can also act out in the classroom and at home.

In this child-friendly and authoritative guide, international working memory expert Dr. Tracy Packiam Alloway walks you through what working memory is, what it feels like to have problems with your working memory, and what you can do about it. She presents key tips and strategies that will help children both at home and at school, and includes a section at the end for adults describing how they can test for working memory issues.

Super Shamlal – Living and Learning with Pathological Demand Avoidance K. I. Al-Ghani Illustrated by Haitham Al-Ghani Oct 2019 · £13.99 · 80pp · hb · 7–11 years · World rights available · ISBN-9781787750562 · eISBN-9781787750555

Therapeutic children’s story about Shamlal the Camel, who lives with Pathological Demand Avoidance syndrome (PDA).

Shamlal the Camel finds it almost impossible to do all the normal, everyday things that the other camels do. Her first word was ‘NO!’ and this is still the word she repeats the most every day. Luckily, Shamlal’s parents take her to a psychologist who explains that she has PDA, and gives her tips for how to live and learn with it.

This simple, illustrated storybook will help children aged 7–11 with PDA to recognise its features, and develop tools to support them. A helpful introduction for parents and carers explains how it feels to live with the panic attacks and general anxiety that are caused by living with PDA, and the appendices at the back provide useful strategies to be adopted at school and at home.

“I think that one of the best ways to help your PDA child is to support them to gain insight in a nonjudgmental and open way. Helping them communicate this to you helps them feel understood and then empowers you as their advocate. It also helps you as the parent see all those truly wonderful positives about your PDA child. This book provides a wonderful framework for doing that.”

– Cassandra Davies, parent of a young person with PDA and member of PDA Action Group Somerset and PDA, Pathological Demand Avoidance Support – Families & Practitioners UK

Growing Up With

A creative writing workbook that helps autistic teenagers understand their individual experience of autistic behaviours and their own personal strengths and difficulties.

Not everyone with autism is the same. This workbook will help teenagers recognise their own individual spectrum of autistic behaviours, and reflect on the specific challenges they face, their own strengths and how they relate to other people.

Using creative writing activities, this book helps teenagers to identify connections between events and their emotions – which can be difficult for people with autism – while improving their writing skills through fun activities. A range of examples of poetry and short stories are included to make each activity accessible to all levels and to show how writing narrative and poems can help support personal reflection.

The book encourages the reader to explore the core aspects of autism including social communication, executive function, and sensory processing, and then allows the teen to create a template of their own spectrum of abilities within autism. This unique understanding of autism can then be used to develop individual strategies and encourage self-advocacy. Using this book collaboratively with teachers or parents means the teen can be supported in a way that is specific to them.

It offers direct advice on what periods look and feel like and how to manage hygiene and pain. It also breaks up information using flaps and step-by-step photos of how to change pads and tampons, it discusses alternatives to tampons and pads, and gives information about possible sensory issues for people with autism.
