An outstanding, well researched and informative book that discusses communication and communicative behaviours in autistic children and young people. This book offers a comprehensive discussion of the language and behavioural barriers that present themselves to autistic individuals, whilst also presenting neuro-affirming changes that can be made in the classroom, or in pupil's daily learning. Unsurprisingly, I am already using its insights in my own work.
