Reviews for The Awesome Autistic Go-To Guide: A Practical Handbook for Autistic Teens and Tweens

An uplifting, engaging and interactive book that empowers autistic tweens and teens to explore, embrace and improve their understanding of what it means to be autistic. I love that the book provides useful and practical tips, celebrates differences and reminds us that we are not alone. -- Siena Castellon, author of The Spectrum Girl's Survival Guide: How to Grow Up Awesome and Autistic.
