Fantastic read. I couldn’t put it down. Honest and truthful of the daily battles of autism. With a good dose of humour mixed in. Highly recommend.

I am a grandparent of a grandson with autism and I have read and absolutely loved the honesty of this book and can totally relate to everything that has been written, would highly recommend.

This book is amazing. I started to read it and couldn’t put it down. I was a school secretary at a Special School and, although I knew the children, I never really understood what Austism was.
This book really is worth reading. It explains everything in a language everybody can understand, no big medical words just plain English. It explains all the difficulties parents experience and how to deal with them.
I highly recommend people to read this, not only parents of Autistic children, but all the general public who think they are naughty children when they see them out and about. Reading this amazing book will help you understand what is really happening in their world.

This is a brilliant Book, it helps you understand everything you need to know about Autism and is explained in a way that I understand. It’s the first time I’ve managed to read a whole book which is a big achievement for me.

This is such a great book, so relatable and really informative. I like the fact it’s broken down into small sections, making it not feel overwhelming to read.
Great humour along with lots of useful tips. It made me feel less alone on this journey. Would highly recommend
