By: V Godfrey

Narrated by: Jack Nolan

Do you stay up at night worrying about how your teen with autism will get through daily life when they are adults?

Has your child always struggled with aspects such as prioritizing, organizing, or juggling multiple tasks?

Do you wonder about your own ability to interest your child in honing the life skills that will make a big difference in their academic, professional, and personal life?

Here’s something that may surprise you: Inspiring, motivating, and passing on key life skills to teens is not something parents “naturally know how to do” and that’s okay.

In Life Skills for Teens with Autism, you will find precise, practical, effective strategies for sharing vital life skills and making your teen aware of how life-changing they can be. Within its chapters, you will find:

• 12 tips for communicating effectively with others
• The main executive functioning challenges for teens — and how to deal with them
• How setting deadlines can be motivational rather than stressful for teens with autism
• Why not all activities may have the same appeal—and how to discover those that your teen can feel passionate about

This book invites you to live your usual life in the most effective way possible. As early as now, you can prepare your teens for the real world…so they will be equipped to shape a bright future and transition into adulthood with greater confidence.

If you are ready to provide your teen with the skills they need to bring their best selves to their schoolwork, social life, and future as an adult, then scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button right now.

Dealing with an Autistic child

A very written book that is a wealth of knowledge on helping parents deal with Autistic children and their different needs that will help them along the way as they grow into adulthood. Things such as constructive guidance in accomplishing simple tasks and the small victories of completing those tasks with patience, love, and understanding. And then building up to the more advanced tasks of making decisions of their own and learning how to express themselves in a positive manner while learning how to cope with their own emotions. Having worked with an Autistic child of a single mom, who was a friend of my son while growing up, I learned first-hand that with proper guidance and teaching, they can accomplish many positive things and it makes them feel better about themselves and gives them a sense of pride of accomplishment.
