Focusing on the importance of motivation strategies, Hidden Strengths shows you how to build on every autistic child''s interests and strengthsThrough real-life stories of individuals whose innate abilities blossomed once they were acknowledged, this book dispels unhelpful stereotypes and will help you unlock your child''s potential. It also aims to educate the wider community in how to support, accept and embrace the gifts autistic individuals offer.
