<p>The Thing is a simple story poetically told by a loving mother of a 7 year old boy with High Functioning Aspergers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Written to fill the hole she had found in this very niche market, her book doesn&rsquo;t teach you how to change your child.&nbsp;&nbsp;It doesn&#39;t teach the child the nature of their condition and how to survive or mask it.&nbsp;&nbsp;It isn&rsquo;t about fixing anything at all...merely&nbsp;&nbsp;supporting your child to accept it and in some way embrace it as an amazing and indelible part of who they are.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With parent/carer notes and suggestions for classroom activities, this book is not simply for children on the Autistic spectrum.&nbsp;It is a sensitive and accessible route to opening discussion with children across mainstream and specialist settings about the nature of diversity and acceptance.</p>
