This is a well-structured text, with useful images / visuals to support deeper understanding and with many examples of best practice. Each chapter includes key points, reflective questions and information on further reading and associated references.  The chapter on ‘Change the Language’, is typical of the book’s format, in the ways in which, for example, Watson carefully explains the power of language and the need for all adults to be vigilant in challenging inappropriate language choices and respecting the needs of the autistic community.  This is a very accessible book and I can see that it will become well-used and often referred to, as Watson hopes. -- Mary Mountstephen, SEN magazine
