What People Are Saying About The In Between Kid
As a grandmother of an autistic teenager, I found so many similarities between the behaviours described in the book and those of my own grandson. At times it felt as if parts of his world were being gently explained to me. This book helped me better understand him, his sensitivities, his way of thinking, and his unique way of experiencing the world.
One of the best things about this book is how real it feels. Many of us, especially kids and teens, can relate to feeling invisible or caught between family, or even friends. The author does a great job showing the character’s emotions and all he goes through in his daily life.
This book is a must read for parents and professionals who are privileged to know and work with children who are Neurodivergent ( Dx of Autism). As a Speech/Language Pathologist, this book was engaging, enlightening and spot on. Dana is a talented author and her son, Jehonatan (Jonah) sounds like an amazing young man.
While many stories attempt to show autism from the outside looking in, this story places the reader directly within Jonah’s beautifully complex mind.
The heart of the book is in Jonah’s attempts to build a bridge between his perception and that of other kids and grownups around him in school.
The author describes realistically the successes and stumbles of his communication.
