What if the things people need to know about autism is not the information they’re getting? Combining myth-busting advice with personal experience, this book from the mother of autistic twins shares simple strategies to build children’s confidence, communication, and independence.
From sharing the joy of yodelling around shops at the weekend, to finding creative ways to communicate with both her verbal and her non-verbal sons, Debby Elley gives practical and fun tips for everyday living and shows that being autistic is just another way of being. Both witty and candid, the book discusses labels, meltdowns, acceptance, happiness and much more.

This reads like a best friend's guide to autism. Elley's honesty, warmth, and positive outlook shine through making this a truly readable, relatable and hopeful book. Between the lines there is a wealth of useful information, understanding and valuable signposts to further reading. An especially great read for those new to autism. I highly recommend this book!
Bright, witty, and upbeat, Debby Elley's book is a heartfelt plea for people to understand the world as those with autism see it, backed up by lots of practical examples of how to do it. As entertaining to read as it is thought-provoking.
This book is full of real-life humour, tongue-in-cheek truth telling, and front-line, in-the-trenches parenting know-how.
This is a great book...It's chatty, supportive, informative and will work as an antidote to more clinical, research based publications...Synthesising her experience over many years, she is a powerful advocate for positive parenting. Highly recommended.
