Description
xIf you have an autistic child in school, you may be painfully aware that mainstream education wasn't built with them in mind.
In this book, a neurodivergence campaigner and former teacher shines a light on what it's really like to be autistic in school today and why so many children are misunderstood. Through a blend of storytelling, polemic, and empathetic advice, the author exposes the inadequacies of the current system, explains how differences have been mislabeled as 'challenging behavior', and provides a blueprint for understanding and supporting young autistic minds Galvanizing and compassionate, this book empowers parents, teachers, and caregivers to take a stand for our autistic schoolchildren and create the conditions they need to truly thrive.Author: Pete Wharmby
