Hi fellow SEN parents 😊
Last night I was reading with one of my no ND kiddos and thought, "autistic kiddo has no books he enjoys".
So I thought about what he would enjoy, characters with autism who also lose their shit at loud noises, scratchy clothes, the wrong textured food. Or characters that like watching mental shite on YouTube, 90s adverts on repeat or hoarding sensory toys, you get the idea.
There's a few of these books around, but not as many as I'd have hoped.
(We tend to read with him on his terms but he doesn't really enjoy things such as Julia Donaldson etc, but he's liked a few books over the years.)
I was thinking if someone with knowledge, skill, time, resources could be located to help me arrange such a thing (or indeed just simply steal this idea, I'll even tell you what I'd want to call it, "my diverse universe", and just start with Ebooks etc, would you as an SEN parent use a service like this?
It might even encourage more authors to do books for SEN kids.
I'm sure there's someone who might be interested in doing it for the kiddos, it's just seeing if parents would think it would benefit their DC.
Anyway if you think it's a good idea then let me know, if you think it's a waste of time and I'm just daydreaming bollocks again, that feedback is as equally as appreciated x
