The holidays are a time of increased busyness and sensory stimuli, along with some potentially difficult questions. One question faced by many parents at this time of year is, “Is there really a Santa?” While parents deal with issues such as this in different ways, the presence of autism or a similar disability may complicate matters. Several years ago I wrote an article to help, which can be accessed here: http://socialincites.com/uploads/3/4/2/5/34250367/santa_easter_bunny.pdf
This week I’m giving away two copies of my newest book, Hand-in-Hand: A Story About Asperger Syndrome…and a Very Significant Friendship. To win, simply email me, “I’d like to win your book!” I’ll notify winners by email on Thursday. Whether the days ahead involve routine activities or special celebrations, I hope you'll all have a wonderful week!
