What people are saying

“I just finished Alex's book you gave me! ****! It's sooo awesome! I could identify with [my child], the noisy classroom, the family party and the listener… You know what was great, is that it has tips for parents as well as supporting ideas. I hope this book gets distributed everywhere!”

Carol Neufeld, parent of an ND child

“The book looks great. It is thoughtfully written, and I believe it is informative for parents and kids: a good non-threatening way to learn you are capable of regulating and working through your stretches, and not a broken child in need of fixing!”

Chris Kelly, therapist

“This book is a must have for parents supporting their neurodiverse child through big emotions for big events. The stories are easy to read and have a predictable format, ideal for learners on the spectrum. They are relevant to everyday situations and have a positive and empowering message.”

Alex Delange, BCBA, RASP-A, Behavioral Services Program Manager, Pivot Point FGC

“As a father of a daughter born with a rare genetic condition, I know firsthand the doubts and fears that arise when we are faced with diagnoses we don’t fully understand… When we shift how we see ourselves and our children, recognizing resilience, dignity, and the capacity to love and care, we open the door to a life of meaning and connection. Alex’s work is a reminder to always keep the door open to possibility, to compassion, and to the unexpected ways our children, and ourselves, can grow.”

Medhi Kurtagich, Registered Social Worker, Oasis Community Social Services Group

Questions

What age range are they for?

The stories work best for autistic kids ages 5 to 10, but the lessons in them are useful to any child who gets overwhelmed by sensory input.

Are these storybooks?

Yes, but not your traditional kids' entertainment. They're tools to guide your child through situations they find hard, ideally read aloud while your child listens with their eyes closed.

Do they help with meltdowns?

Not directly. They're tools, not pills. The series creates a shared language and a calm routine that builds co-regulation between you and your child, which makes overload easier to navigate.
