Fantastic practical guide for parents of autistic children. Written from real experience of parenthood and the challenges families face to support their children and themselves in society today. Friendly, non-judgemental advice, that can be picked up, put down and revisted time again.

No Labels Here what an amazing inspirational guide. As a SEND parent myself it was a comforting and exhilarating read. "Believing you can do something will actually help you do something" I feel like Ive gained a mountain of knowledge whether it be about choices, or clothing and not forgetting the importance of self care.
