This book is drawn from Judy's own life experiences, as a person on the spectrum, parent of a child on the spectrum and from years of experience as a school consultant specializing in supporting children on the autism spectrum. She has a unique way of conveying the challenges of autism from both the perspective of someone on the spectrum and those who support and love them.  Making Lemonade is filled with explanations of typical spectrum behaviors including processing delays, sensory differences, the need for deep pressure (squishing), visual thinking, rule creation, literal thinking, and explosive behavior. It is through understanding why people on the spectrum behave in certain ways, that we can adjust our judgments and expectations. This is the book to help us all do just that. This book is should be read by parents, teachers and anyone else who it an "autism helper."
