My Autism

The guide helps children to understand their own uniqueness and strengths. This guide can be used in professional settings or parents can use it while discussing the diagnosis with their child.

”My Autism” explains in simple terms what autism is and what it might involve, such as special interests, stimming, and tics. The guide also covers topics like sensory sensitivities, social situations, communication, feelings, and executive functioning. The guide includes space for notes and helps with reflecting on how the characteristics of autism manifest in the individual.

The guide is available in Finnish, Swedish, and English.

The guide was created by Marjo Grönholm and was developed as part of a thesis (YAMK) on psychoeducation for children with autism.
