His mother, Joan Matthews, is an NP or normal person. As James grew up, his different perception of the world and the lack of understanding from NPs created problems. Together, he and his mother met the challenges with ingenuity and humour. One day, while taking a walk, James and Joan decided to write a book of their practical solutions. The Self-Help Guide for Special Kids is that book. Covering everything from eye sensitivity, to knowing how far away to stand from other people, to being polite when someone is crying, James and Joan's book describes the problems that an SP may face, and the solutions which they have found to work successfully. Pervaded by their caustic humour and common sense, The Self-Help Guide for Special Kids will be invaluable to other SPs and their families both as a source of advice and a fresh and witty account of how it feels to be an SP. 606 $aAutism in children 606 $aAutistic children 606 $aParents of autistic children 606 $aSelf-help techniques 615 0$aAutism in children. 615 0$aAutistic children. 615 0$aParents of autistic children. 615 0$aSelf-help techniques. 676 $a618.92/8982 700 $aMatthews$b Joan Lord$01517233 701 $aWilliams$b James$f1988-$01517234 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782924403321 996 $aThe self-help guide for special kids and their parents$93754164 997 $aUNINA
