You need to have patience with me, because I cannot always understand what you are telling me or what is happening around me. I want you to accept me as I am, with my bad and good moments. I have good moments too. I have feelings too. I want you to accept me as I am, not how you want me to be.

I am different, and that is why I am unique. This book is intended for parents and educators who want to learn about the world of autism and for anyone who has come into contact with this developmental disorder and has loved it.

Every child on the autism spectrum has their own personal way of behaving, which those involved in their education need to know, respect, and understand in order to accept the child and appropriately adjust their teaching interventions.

Within the pages of this book, the parents of children on the autism spectrum will find information and advice on how to help not only the child with autism but also the other family members. It discusses techniques for addressing problems that may arise both within the family and in the classroom.

In this second edition, elements have been added that help parents and educators understand how a child with autism thinks, behaves, and reacts, as well as teaching techniques and ways to integrate the child into their peers' group. Furthermore, knowledge and guidance are provided to develop a personalized educational intervention program aimed at co-education.

It is written with much love and respect for the child, in the hope of contributing our piece to the puzzle of autism. Because whatever we know, we love.
