It is hard for me to believe that it was only a little more than a year ago that I met Judy Endow for the very first time. Since then, she has become my dear friend and wise counselour to many in the Madison area (and beyond). Making Lemonade is Judy's very first published work. It is written in poetic form with elegantly simple illustrations by Ben Averill.
Written for "autism's helpers," there are many practical solutions for supporting and understanding people on the spectrum. For neuro-typical "world people," this book takes us inside autism helping us understand the logical reasoning of seemingly odd behavior. For example, Judy explains why someone on the spectrum may clap when an ambulance goes Author name:
she hated loud sounds
and had learned from watching at the parade
that when loud noises come and people clap
the loud noises will stop or go away
so a few days later
when a loud ambulance siren
was on the street by her school
she clapped in order to make it stop
and it did even though
she had to clap a long time
This book is drawn from Judy's own life experiences, as a person on the spectrum, parent of a child on the spectrum and from years of experience as a school consultant specializing in supporting children on the autism spectrum. She has a unique way of conveying the challenges of autism from both the perspective of someone on the spectrum and those who support and love them.
Making Lemonade is filled with explanations of typical spectrum behaviors including processing delays, sensory differences, the need for deep pressure (squishing), visual thinking, rule creation, literal thinking, and explosive behavior. It is through understanding why people on the spectrum behave in certain ways, that we can adjust our judgments and expectations. This is the book to help us all do just that. This book is should be read by parents, teachers and anyone else who it an "autism helper."
