Browse the BooksThere Is No Single Right Way to Learn
Autistic children can communicate, participate and learn in very different ways. These resources are designed around respect for the individual child rather than expecting every child to respond in the same way.
Look Beyond Behavior
A quiet child may still be confused, anxious, overloaded or unable to ask for help.
Use Different Ways to Explain
Pictures, demonstrations, stories, repetition and hands-on activities can complement spoken instructions.
Allow Processing Time
Some children need more time to understand a request, organize a response or become comfortable with a new activity.
Celebrate Small Steps
Progress may mean recognizing what comes next, trying one new step or simply feeling safer with a familiar routine.
Created from Lived Autistic Experience
Degan Doodles was created by Sarah, an autistic author whose own experiences with communication, everyday routines, social expectations and school helped inspire the project.
Her goal is to create autism-friendly books and resources with simple visual choices, familiar themes and different ways for children to engage with stories and activities at their own pace.
