Hi. My 9 year old daughter has been really struggling. She has very recently opened up and confided in me that she feels different from her school peers (some of whom are being rather unkind to her because of the adjustments she needs to make for her sensory needs for example) and is anxious she may be autistic and what this may mean for her now and in the future e.g she’s worried she won’t be able to get a job. My daughter is extremely bright and has a lot going for her and is rapidly loosing confidence. When I asked my daughter whether being Autistic is something she wants to look into more through school and/or other professionals she says no for the moment but is happy talking to me and her dad and wants to learn more slowly. Can anyone please suggest some books that would be suitable for a young child that wants to gently explore the possibility of being Autistic and what this might mean. Thanks.
