A great book has been published by Bianca Toeps and Esther Walraven and it's called Ik ben autastic! The book is written for children and in the book Bianca tells you what you can run into if you have autism. More children speak in the book because there is not one type of autism, every autistic person has his / her own easy and difficult things, just like non-autistic children.
The book is a very good read for children with the ASD (autism spectrum disorders) diagnosis, but also for parents, brothers and sisters, grandfathers and grandmothers, teachers and educators, family, friends and everyone who is here for whatever reason. also want to know more. Because due to unfamiliarity there is often a lot of misunderstanding about this condition.
A lot in the book is told by autists themselves and who better? It is striking how well they can explain what is difficult for them to people who do not (yet) understand much of it. There are useful tips in the book that make life more fun and easier for everyone. There is also scientific explanation about the condition.
Besides the fact that you learn a lot from this book, it is very useful and also fun to read. De cute illustrations are by Roozeboos! After reading this book we indeed say: these children are autastic!
