Wow there is so much I don’t know and this has helped me understand my Son sooo much more. Thanks Casey for sharing so I can understand more better!

Celebrates and informs about autism

I’m lucky enough to have a good number of friends who are on the spectrum. I realized there was a lot I didn’t know and understand about their struggles and differences in communication and relationships. This was a warm, honest, and informative book that helped me understand how I can better communicate with my friends. I was able to see and understand the ways they were trying to show me affection. There’s still much more I can learn and I’m so grateful for this writer sharing his experience and spreading awareness

If someone in your life experiences this, listen and learn

This is a great, clear, and short listen from a very personal perspective covering things that people not on the spectrum need to be constantly aware of when communicating, working with, living with, or loving someone on the spectrum.

Excellent

Great quick read on Tips and communicating with autism spectrum individuals. Excellent resource for school issues. Work issues every day life issues. The author was great. Funny and helpful.

I want more books like this!

This book changed my life. I have a son who was diagnosed with Autism in Middle School. I cannot articulate how afraid I was for my son’s future. My fear was created mostly by my lack of understanding how to communicate with him. Now I understand and I have renewed hope in my ability to help him reach his potential. I can’t wait for the next book. Maybe a book focused on getting through a love relationship?

Excellent Book!

I absolutely enjoyed listening and learning more about autism with this book. The author broke it down in easy to understand scenarios and tips. I am so thankful for this information!
