The Thing is a simple story poetically told by a loving mother of a 7 year old boy with High Functioning Aspergers. Written to fill the hole she had found in this very niche market, her book doesn’t teach you how to change your child. It doesn’t teach the child the nature of their condition and how to survive or mask it. It isn’t about fixing anything at all…merely supporting your child to accept it and in some way embrace it as an amazing and indelible part of who they are.

With parent/carer notes and suggestions for classroom activities, this book is not simply for children on the Autistic spectrum. It is a sensitive and accessible route to opening discussion with children across mainstream and specialist settings about the nature of diversity and acceptance.
