Autism & Challenging Behaviour: 5 reasons behind challenging behaviour in neurodivergent children
We asked our readers what's hard about parenting autistic and ADHD children, and lots of them said handling challenging behaviour is tough! So, we made this simple eBook to help people learn about why neurodivergent kids might act out. Sometimes, it's not defiance - it's their way of dealing with changes or how they feel. This eBook discusses five things: communication, sensory processing, changes in routine, nervousness in social situations, and feeling ill. All these things can make people think a child is being difficult, but often, that's not what's really going on.

AUTOLOGY: The Complete, Indispensable Field-Guide for Successfully Navigating the Social Terrain
Friendships. Family. Partners. Neighbours. Colleagues. Coffee Baristas. The best bits of life usually involve other people. Yet, if socialisation is the defining hallmark of the human species, then to be born with the key social differences of autism is about as (cruelly? ironically?) dis-abling as it gets. This is where Ben Aadario (real-life autistic, and author of ‘The Rules of Being Autistic’ series) offers a unique advantage to the curious (and brave) autistic reader – in explaining the wealth of everyday ‘invisible’ mechanics of socialisation. Clarifying all the unvoiced truths that caregivers forgot to teach, Ben Aadario adopts a stance akin to a social anthropologist, zoologist or even curious visiting alien.

Spectrumites: Life unDiagnosed – Understanding inVisible Late Diagnosis Autism & Asperger’s Autistic Tendencies
Growing up, I felt stupid. Oh, so stupid. Like I didn’t fit in. It was as if I’d been dropped in to suburbia from another planet, an alien. Perhaps if I had had a major meltdown I would have flagged the help I desperately needed. But, no, I suffered. I felt so alone, lost. There was no-one else like me. I hid behind a mask and adhered to society norms of being a “male-worker-robot-person” in middle-class society. Fortunately (or not) I was able to mask really well, and hide myself away. I built a life, a job, a house, had a child, all the usual things people aspire to. On the surface, all was normal, I just thought I was different, not less, just different, but didn’t know why. I could never understand the way people reacted to me. I was being nice, but still they didn’t like me, as if I had hurt someone close to them..
