Did not find this book helpful at all. Only tells you what everyone should know.More like a book put together by a child over night.Very poor was not happy waste of money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accessible and academically-sound! *by M***A on 6 June 2017* An excellent, accessible, thorough guide. This book is much needed. Written from a compassionate parent’s point of view, it’s light and understanding. It will be of much interest to carers, anyone who regularly works with young people as well as those who seek to understand child development with autism and Asperger's Syndrome. The advice is clear, and it’s light to read, especially with the cartoons. However, it’s rigourous too, in that also has pointers to further key educational and developmental research which is really important.It’s obvious Katy Ephinstone has been in all of these situations and has researched, tried and tested many things before giving out this advice! As a teacher and a Forest Schools Practitioner I found it helpful in understanding why commonly taught behaviour systems aren’t not a fit for all for children with austistic tendencies. It helped me to understand behaviours as well as suggested ways to adapt behaviour strategies. It’s positive, unpatronising and a great collaboration. Thank you for sharing and uncovering what can seem like a complex, confusing way of being. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful guide brimming with practical advice, support and insight. *by T***. on 19 July 2017* Written with warmth and integrity, this wonderful guide is brimming with practical advice, support and insight not only for parents of autistic or asberger’s children but for all those who wish to care for children more consciously.Drawing on accounts from personal experience, Katy shares not only her passion for parenting but her understanding of the enormity of this job which can all too often go unnoticed by wider society.While there is much practical advice offered in this book, it celebrates more of a creative approach to childcare rather than a set of rules.We are reminded to meet the challenges that face us every day by listening and responding sensitively in ways that are sympathetic to the child’s needs as well as our own in the moment.Above all we are reminded that we are not alone in our struggles and that this is an amazing job we do!As a yoga teacher I welcome in particular the suggestions for coping with and resolving overwhelming anxieties and trauma through working with the body, which I see as an instrument for getting to know oneself and for unlocking deep held patterns of behaviour. I was reminded of the value of simplification in meeting challenging situations; slowing down in order to see things clearly and to act according to what is required in the moment. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/63144658-dos-and-donts-autism-and-aspergers-advice-for-parents-carers](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/63144658-dos-and-donts-autism-and-aspergers-advice-for-parents-carers) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
