for 4-H I want to write a book that can be interactive for children with autism. I want to use it to make reading fun and to help others understand autism...Any suggestions?

Hi sorry for delay. I was having technical problems with YouTube. For many of those on the autism spectrum, sensory issues (sound, touch, taste, etc) can be experienced hyper/hypo (too much or too little) so perhaps having your book have some touch feel things in it would be helpful. Like soft fabric, scratchy sand paper, slippery rubber, feathers or whatever to add a sensory aspect to the book. Also, kids on the spectrum sometimes do better after having activity so perhaps adding activities...

(continued)...adding activities to every few pages might help the child feel more relaxed or get rid of some of the "heeby jeebies". Good luck on your 4-H project. Please let me know if I can be of further help. You can send me a direct message.

Looks like a great book, Joanna; I know that people will find it extremely helpful and informative... And I'm looking forward to see you do a video clip about your second book, which seems like another great book.

Good luck and thanks for the comment on the clip I did about my book.

Joanna, Thank you for this Video, about Chelsie. I have Asperger Syndrome, mild autism. I am also a folk musician/singer/songwriter and activist for affordable healthcare (in USA); now branching to autism awareness too.

Besides afflicted by an ASD I see a vivid example of failure of our healthcare (in USA). Often insurance companies won't cover therapies needed by autistic child.

AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE IS A RIGHT! Autistic & neurotyp.

The Autistic Child has a right to needed therapies.

Hi Jaydy! Thank you so much for your response to my video. I am sorry that your life has been hard. The teen years can be super hard especially if you are also juggling other challenges. My hope for you is that you see your strengths, cheer your own successes and that you overcome any challenges you face! Take care and thanks for posting!! Joanna K-V
