The Double Empathy Problem E-Book for Children:
This book is great to teach autistic and non autistic children about the Double Empathy Problem.
The theory of ‘double empathy’ proposes that Autistic people do not lack empathy. Autistic people experience the world and express emotions differently to non-autistic people. Autistic and Neurotypical people have difficulty understanding each other and need to meet half way. Both autistic and non autistic/neurotypical people need to learn about this to understand each other. It is important that families/whole classes learn about this and this social story/e-book is a great tool for learning!

SOLVE THE WHY CHART: A neurodiversity-affirming way of identifying and documenting what is causing challenging behavior, tantrums, or meltdowns
What are ABC charts? (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence)
Ever wonder why a child has suddenly become so angry? Or is struggling with challenging behavior? An ABC helps you keep a record of these moments, uncover the triggers, figure out why they are becoming so upset and how to best support them.
Concerns about ABC charts:
However, recently, the neurodiversity movement has raised some concerns about these charts and whether they are overly focused on neurotypical expectations and interpretations of behavior. Our Solve the WHY chart, addresses these concerns and provides a neurodiversity-affirming alternative for supporting children.
It is also useful for gathering evidence for school inspections, writing IEPs, developing behavior support plans, SNA applications and applications for more resources and support within your school.
