My Amazing Brain: A Fun, Honest Guide for Autistic Kids Ages 7–11 — with Activities, Quizzes, and Real Talk

My Amazing Brain is a warm, funny, and honest book written directly for autistic children ages 7–11 — not about them, not for their parents. For them.Through the story of Sam, a curious 9-year-old with a passion for dinosaurs, sensory strategies, and exactly four pillows arranged in the right order, young readers will see themselves in a story for the very first time, learn what autism actually is in real and clear language, discover their genuine strengths, understand big emotions and meltdowns without shame, get practical tools for school, friendships, and family life, and find out how to talk about their autism on their own terms, when they're ready.My Amazing Brain is not a therapy workbook and not a parent's guide. It is a book that respects autistic children enough to speak to them directly, honestly, and with humor.Inside: 12 chapters covering sensory experiences, special interests, friendships, school strategies, stimming, family dynamics, emotions, and self-identity — plus quizzes, fill-in activities, social scripts, a calm-down toolkit, a letter to write to family, a sensory profile, and a full glossary.Written by Leah Avital — teacher, child-parent relationship consultant, and mother of four autistic children."You don't need to be fixed. You don't need to be less. You just have to be you — and that's exactly the right amount."Perfect for autistic children reading independently, classroom use, therapists and counselors, parents reading alongside their child, and school libraries.
