If you haven’t watched season one of Love on the Spectrum or Kaelynn Partlow’s videos on social media, that’s fine. This book still ranks among one of the best and most helpful resources I’ve seen so far about autism. It’s probably no coincidence that it happens to be written by someone on the spectrum who works with autistic children and adults. She uses direct language and humor to help bridge the understanding between non autistic people and autistic people as well as autistic level ones who can communicate and twos and threes who have more difficulty advocating for themselves. I will definitely return to this one. ]]>
