I’m a mum to 2 girls, youngest is ASD (Aspergers), I work as an LSA in Year 6 and also teach maths to year 4’s in afternoons, I’m happily married and have been with my hubby over 20years, I love books but with running about after the girls I struggle to fit it in, I’ve started getting fit with body balance/tai chi and the gym. I love easy read, novels, books to help my daughter/us to learn new tools, bio’s

Easy read - each chapter is relative to a trait or “issue” with concise thoughts and insights that can be really useful if living or working with autistic people. (2 more)
Thought provoking and moving in ways I hadn’t anticipated.
A book I can share with my eldest daughter and other family members in the hope they can make connections or learn how to better interact with my youngest autistic daughter.
Nothing this book can solve - I’d just like a female perspective too as female autism has other traits and separate difficulties. (0 more)
Insightful!

Do you think a children’s version of this could be set up? For academic years 7-13? Could be useful for secondary school!

Any good summer reads, I like funny or modern romantic novels. Favourite author of comedic novels is Kathy Lette, I have read all of her books. I like an easy read, not too intellectual as this is time to lose myself :-)
