Welcome to ASD Books & Regulation Resources.
Neurodiverse brains are wired to do well in unique and dynamic environments.
With the right modifications to expectations, supports and systematic changes, the world of neurodiversity can help change homes and classrooms for the better by embracing our differences and finding innovative solutions.
In this sweet spot we can create environments where neurodiverse children and students can thrive beyond common expectations.
I am Emma, and I created these resources based on my personal experiences and the tools I wish I had available as a child.
I’ve gained valuable insights into the challenges and needs of individuals with neurodiverse minds as I have lived and learned through experience has lead me to a passion for developing new resources that empower children, who are like me as a child, so they are able to turn challenges into advantages both at home and in the classroom.
What is it about neurodiverse brains that make a difference?
One of the gifts of having a neurodiverse mind is the power to shape a new, more inclusive society, even if it begins with just one child. Unlike traditional neurotypical perspectives that prioritize conformity, neurodiversity encourages us to embrace our uniqueness, nurture our passions, and create an adaptable world that celebrates everyone’s strengths. For many neurodiverse individuals, the current world often feels like a place where they don’t belong, no matter how hard they try. They may feel excluded or misunderstood in their daily lives. By recognizing and valuing neurodiversity, we can work towards creating a more accepting and supportive environment for everyone.
To demonstrate an example of how society fits those with neurodiverse minds in, we look at this famous quote:
“If you judge a fish by it’s ability to climb a tree, it will go its whole life thinking that it is stupid.”
However, give the fish a pond and test its ability to swim, and the monkey a tree and test its ability to climb, you’ll find both are remarkably clever in their own unique ways.
Existing support systems often only address surface-level issues, acting as temporary solutions when more profound assistance is needed. By actively seeking the perspectives of neurodiverse people and understanding what they needed as children, we can better support their unique strengths and protect against their vulnerabilities. This collaborative approach helps create a world where neurodiverse individuals are empowered, educated, and supported in ways that truly meet their needs.
The Quality of our Resources:
Let’s take a closer look at some of the unique qualities of our resources available on this website, and how they are changing the scene of neurodiverse homes and classrooms:
Difference 1: Simply Engaging
Simple images that are made for easy comprehension, even for those with learning disabilities.
Books are designed to be engaging, creating new neural pathways often untapped by other methods of teaching the same goal.
We thrive in easy to use environments, so why not jump on this opportunity, that others often overlook when supporting children with neurdiverse minds?
Difference 2: Specific wording & images
The resources are created carefully to make understanding easy, visual and detailed enough that the child reading can pinpoint what is happening (weather they are able to verbalise that or not).
This is the best way to support children’s needs and learning goals. These resources are built to support you creating goals for the child, in an engaging way and child friendly manner.
The problem-solving abilities: The neurodiverse mind has an ability to see outside-the-box thinking and finding unconventional solutions to complex problems. Here at ASD Books & Regulation Resources we want to help you do that for your child.
Difference 3: Easy to grasp for ND children
When we find something that captivates our interest, the neurodiverse brain becomes focused, channelling it’s energy into achieving goals.
There are no abstract ideas or images used in our resources, in fact the opposite is true. Everything is concrete, making understanding easy for neurodiverse minds!
Children can easily grasp good behaviour choices, troubleshoot and regulate.
Adults are easily able to support good behaviour choices because most of the time they can be done naturally, we are just emphasising those things, cultivating a culture and environemnt where the neurodiveres mind can learn and implement them, and eventually growing to learn to adapt those behaviours you have taught them to new situations as they grow up, develop and change occurs.
Difference 4: See them Achieve
Results you can easily see, implement to notice start to emerge from your child or student. Your children quickly and easily get achievement (that dopamine/reward hit from the mind) from implementing what they have learnt and you picking up on them doing it and noticing their success.
