Hi,
I'm in the process of writing a book about a boy with Asperger's aimed at the 8-12 age group. It's basically a planned series of detective books. The stories will focus on various mental health issues which I want to present in a positive, affirming viewpoint.
I've researched the subject but, not knowing any autistic children myself, I don't know if what I have so far is patronising or oversimplified.
So, I wondered if anybody far more qualified than me would give it a read and let me know their thoughts.
First do make to common mistake of having a check list of issue's and think they all have to be ticked. Because if not learned anything from hollywood it that all autisic's act very same way and all issues going all the time.
