One of the autism community's most beloved classics, Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew has informed, delighted, and guided millions of families and professionals around the world since its first edition was published in 2005.

A child's voice leads each chapter, offering a unique exploration of how ten core characteristics of autism affect our children's perceptions and reactions to the physical, sensory, and social environments around them. This revised and updated third edition sharpens the focus on these basics while expanding how our own perspectives shape our child's lives and ourselves, today, tomorrow, and for years to come. An entirely new section illuminates the surprising breadth of our power of choice and outlines powerful strategies for sound decision-making in every situation.

Every parent, teacher, social worker, therapist, and doctor should have this concise and informative book in their back pocket. Framed with humor and compassion, the book lists the top ten characteristics that help illuminate, not define, children with autism. Ellen's personal experiences as a mother, autism columnist, and contributor to numerous parenting magazines come together to create this guide for anyone who has someone on the autism spectrum in their life.
