Social-Emotional Learning for Autistic Kids: Fun Activities to Manage Big Feelings and Make Friends (For Ages 5-10) Paperback – August 15, 2023

What a fantastic tool for children with autism. I found the activities to be very thoughtful in helping children express their feelings and learn how to be more social. I have not seen a book like this before. This book helps prepare children for various social situations in everyday life. Which in turn helps to build confidence and self esteem. I believe it is a great resource for parents and children to work together for success. I work in a school with children with autism. I am excited for the opportunity to share this book with my school families.

The media could not be loaded. Beautifully written and illustrated, with lots of colorful activities for kids to work on. My kid is probably a bit young for this book at age 6, but I believe she’ll enjoy this a lot in a year or two. I love that the social skills activities are meant for helping autistic kids express what THEY want and need out of friendships, rather than teaching them how to mask to make others more comfortable. Highly recommended for parents and teachers looking for neurodiversity affirming resources!

I'm an autistic adult and when I saw this book, I looked up the author to see if they were actually autistic. She is not, and I was a bit hesitant because Emily Mori is a "certified autism specialist." Many times, professionals with those kinds of accreditations are not neuroaffirming. It was kind of a yellow flag, so I went into this book with some skepticism. The title at least uses identity first language, which is preferred by many autistics. I did find a lot of activities in this book that I will use with my own kids. I thought they were useful and written in a way that was easy to understand.

I have to brag about how much I love this book. As a mom of a 5 year old who is on the Spectrum I was so excited to be able to read this book. My son struggles daily with handling his emotions and understanding them. He also has a hard time when interacting with his peers and others. This book is a huge help for me.The book is packed with activities that help children develop their social-emotional skills and better understand them. It gives real life scenarios as well as skill-building activities to help them learn. I love the positive approach the book emphasizes. The possibilities of the book are endless. They can work to the age and needs of the child. The chapters are wonderfully created and illustrations are child friendly. We are enjoying the one on how to handle big feelings, a current challenge for us. The book teaches different techniques such as belly breathing and counting to 5 to calm. So many creative ideas throughout the book. I am excited to try it all.Your family will love this book and how easy it is to use and enjoy. Get creative. Enjoy the adventure.A huge, very much appreciated thank you to NetGalley and Zeitest publishers for allowing us to enjoy this book. We can’t wait to add it to our home library.1000 stars and more
