I Have a Question about Divorce: A Book for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or Other Special Needs

Divorce is a difficult topic for any parent or educator to explain to a child, perhaps even more so when the child has Autism Spectrum Disorder or other special needs. This book is designed specifically to help children with these additional needs to understand what divorce means.

Using a question and answer format, it explores the changes and feelings a child may experience during a divorce, and provides ideas to help cope with this life change. Illustrated with SymbolStix, which uses a symbol-based language for visual thinkers, this book explains a difficult topic to children who might otherwise struggle to understand it, and gives additional guidance for parents and carers.

For children aged 5-11 with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities, or who prefer concrete or visual thinking. Also their parents and other family members and professionals who work with them.
