The 20th Anniversary Edition of Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew commemorates the timeless insights of one of the autism community's most beloved classics.

Translated into more than 25 languages, Ten Things has transcended geographic, cultural, and socio-economic boundaries to guide and inspire millions of families and professionals worldwide since the first edition was published in 2005. A child's voice leads into each chapter, presenting an authentic exploration into how ten core characteristics of autism affect our children's perceptions and reactions to the surrounding physical, sensory and social environments.

Framed with humor and compassion, the book helps to illuminate---not define---autistic children. The 2019 third edition sharpens the focus on these basic aspects, while expanding on how our own perspectives shape the life of our child and ourselves, in daily life and for years to come. A compelling new section explains the surprising breadth of our power of choice and outlines potent strategies for strong decision-making in every situation.

Ellen's experiences as a parent, author, and contributor to numerous parenting, education, and health publications coalesce to create this guide for those with someone on the autism spectrum in their life. Countless parents, teachers, social workers, and therapists call Ten Things a back-pocket necessity.
