More than a children’s book, I Just Need Space is a grounding tool for families navigating autism and ADHD. Through five second-person stories and guided reflections, it helps you understand your child’s need for breaks, quiet, and distance — not as avoidance, but as healthy self-regulation. No bright illustrations — just imagination, connection, and calm.

This book is more than a story — it’s a gentle companion for families navigating autism, ADHD, and sensory or social burnout. It follows the same intentional format as the rest of the Safe Space Series: five immersive second-person stories, each one designed to help your child feel understood, and help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface.
Created by Alex Lesage (father, neurodiversity advocate, and the voice behind The Safe Space Series), this softcover book blends calming narrative with reflection questions and parent coaching tips after every chapter, giving you a practical way to reconnect during moments of withdrawal, shutdown, or emotional overload.
Each chapter explores a moment when a child needs space — not as avoidance, but as a valid self-regulation need:
There are no bright illustrations. No distractions. Just emotion, imagination, and presence.
Read it slowly. Read it together.
This book gives language to what many neurodivergent kids can’t yet express — the need for breathing room, gentleness, and time. It helps your child feel safe, and helps you show them that space doesn’t mean disconnection. It means care.
Part bedtime story, part reflection journal, part parent guide — built with empathy and intention.
