"Autism and Me" by Haia Ironside and Ellie O'Shea (Studio Press)

This book is for autistic people, and it's rare to see a book that can make such a bold claim and deliver on its promise to introduce a series of interesting activities and helpful tips, designed by an autism expert.

"Autism and Me" by Haia Ironside and Ellie O'Shea brilliantly presents its content in a way that's engaging and stimulating for autistic children to dig straight into, and be proud to put their own stamp on.

The activities in this book explore what it means to be autistic, with each exercise designed to be relaxing and fun to do, with many that can be adopted and practiced outside of the book too.

The book also contains helpful advice and guidance for parents and carers, who will find the book a valuable resource to share alongside autistic kids and perhaps even work on some of the exercises together. 

Author Haia Ironside recently completed her master's degree in Autism, now teaching and working with autistic children and their families and caregivers.
