Just made the dangerous discovery how easy it is to order books from Blackwell's. 😬 More loopholes might have slowed me down. 😂
Tagged book not available in North America yet. My eldest was recently diagnosed with Autism and so doing some catch-up, and most of the good resources seem to be in the UK.
slategreyskies If your eldest is still younger, this book is pretty good for helping with social cues. I noticed your post didn‘t mention age, so it may not be relevant for you.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

The Asperkid's (Secret) Book of Social Rules: The Handbook of Not-So-Obvious Social Guidelines for Tweens and Teens with Asperger SyndromeBookwomble Jessica Kingsley Publishing do a fantastic range of books on neurodivergence, with sections both on and for children. I'm not sure what their shipping costs outside the UK will be, but perhaps worth you checking them out. https://uk.jkp.com/ 6mo

merelybookish @Bookwomble Thank you! I appreciate the recommendation! As I mentioned, the material coming out of the UK seems more advanced than what's current here. 6mo
Bookwomble @merelybookish You're welcome ? I thought after I posted that I'd no idea how old your son is! They do a range of adult focused books, too. I think there's been more of a focus on "curing" autism in the US than in the UK, and more on support and acceptance here, though there's certainly a long way to go as there are still many common misconceptions prejudice. 6mo
Hooked_on_books I love resources like this! Much of the time I think the age of technology we live in is not so great, but access to books with ease that would be much harder to get (or even know about) is fabulous. I ordered a couple of Women‘s Prize longlisted books from them, as they have no US pub date, and they came faster than I thought they would. 6mo
Libby1 This book is EXCELLENT. I hope you can get a copy. 6mo
merelybookish @Bookwomble Yes, that sounds accurate.. I think there's a slight shift in North America but it's slow. 6mo
merelybookish @Hooked_on_books Yes, I mourned the loss of Book Depository and hadn't really invested getting books from the UK since then. So I am glad it's available AND it's dangerous. 😉.What's crazy is that it's about the same price as buying books from Indigo (the Canadian book chain). 6mo
