Divorce is a difficult topic for any parent or educator to explain to a child, perhaps even more so when the child is on the autism spectrum or has other special needs. Suitable for all kids, this book is also designed specifically to help children with these additional needs to understand what divorce means.

Using a question and answer format, it explores the changes and feelings a child may experience during a divorce, and provides ideas to help cope with this life change. Illustrated with SymbolStix, which uses a symbol-based language for visual thinkers, this book explains a difficult topic to children who might otherwise struggle to understand it, and gives additional guidance for parents and carers.

Reviews for I Have a Question about Divorce: A Book for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or Other Special Needs

I Have a Question about Divorce presents a clear, concise, and relatable way for parents and professionals to discuss and navigate the issue of divorce. * Ray Smithers, CEO, The Autism Channel * Every therapist and every divorce attorney should have a copy on their shelf as they help a family navigate through this challenging time . * Elaine G.F. Hall, Founder of The Miracle Project, author, and divorced parent of a child with Autism * Divorce is a challenging time for children as well as parents and inclusive resources on the topic are nonexistent. Though written specifically for children with ASD and special needs, I think this book will be an indispensable resource for ALL families negotiating divorce. The authors provide developmentally appropriate answers to some of the most difficult questions a parent will encounter. With it's clear language and honest insight, this book should be on the shelf of every child mental health professional and educator. It is a gift of extraordinary wisdom combined with expert answers to difficult questions. * Dr. Ellen Braaten rector of the Learning and Emotional Assessment Program (LEAP) at Mass. General Hospital, Track Director of the Child Psychology Training Program at MGH/Harvard Medical School, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School and author *
