Autism to Z Kathleen Shearer

This book is an illustrated alphabet, an A-Z, celebrating life with a child on the autistic spectrum. It is quirky and colourful. It is deliberately and unashamedly upbeat. It was started when life seemed difficult - meetings focused on challenging behaviours and problem-solving; forms needed filling out based on the very worst days. Sometimes it's hard not to give in to the negativity. For the author and illustrator, this A-Z helped put things back into perspective. Maybe it can help lighten and brighten your day too.
