Autism, Identity and Me: A Practical Workbook to Empower Autistic Children and Young People Aged 10+ de Rebecca Duffus

Autism, Identity and Me: A Practical Workbook to Empower Autistic Children and Young People Aged 10+

Autor Rebecca Duffus, Lyric Rivera
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 ian 2025
This empowering workbook will help children and young people to develop a positive understanding of their autistic identity. Highly structured and visual, the workbook is broken down into key sections such as 'Interests and focus', 'Masking', 'Emotions and energy levels' and 'My autistic identity statement' to create a personal passport and to develop a deeper understanding of what autism means to the young person as an individual. Written with a US readership in mind, this guidebook details the diagnostic/discovery process in the US, in addition to relevant organizations and web resources for support around mental health. Content has been shaped by autistic advisors and contributors, with first-hand experiences of young people woven throughout. The workbook aims to encourage and build:
·       An understanding of what autism is
·       An understanding of what autism means to them (their autistic identity)
·       A positive sense of self
·       An acknowledgement of things that may be trickier
·       A pride in being autistic.
Having a positive understanding of your autistic identity is an indicator of higher self-esteem and wellbeing as an adult. This workbook supports the development of this and will be valuable for autistic children and young people aged 10+ and the adults working with them. It is designed to be used alongside the accompanying guide for most effective use, which provides further support for the lead adult and a platform for initiating important conversations. For effective use, this workbook should be purchased alongside the guide.

Recenzii

“These authors clearly have a deep understanding of the autism, visual thinking and neurodiversity. I love the idea of the two books working together as so often parents are left in the waiting room while their child is receiving therapy or various services. The entire time I read both books I pictured myself when my son was diagnosed - I thought of my state of mind, my emotions, concerns and misunderstandings. A book like this would have been an incredible resource to have access to sit and work with my son and learn together.” Danny Combs, Certified Autism Specialist, President of Teaching the Autism Community Trades (TACT), author of Supporting Neurodivergent and Autistic People for Their Transition into Adulthood
 
The face of autism has always been white boys and men by default, so it is very refreshing to see 'Autism and race' (written by Lauren Melissa Ellzey) highlighted and addressed in a way people, young and old, can understand. It's especially important for these issues to be brought to the frontline so that the media can start bringing forth more diverse stories of autism and exploring other areas of the spectrum. Rebecca nailed it, and having Lyric, someone who is Actually Autistic, onboard was so heartwarming to see learning about autism from autistic people is crucial. - Ayanna Sanaa Davis, aka Phenomenally Autistic, Autism Artist & Advocate
An essential guide for professionals supporting autistic children and young people to understand and embrace their autistic identity. Rebecca's insight and knowledge will make a huge difference to the lives of autistic young people. -Emily Katy, author and autistic advocate
