The writing process requires a high level of co-ordination between various parts of the brain. In individuals with an autism spectrum disorder, the areas of the brain do not communicate effectively with each other, leading to great difficulty co-ordinating all the skills needed for writing. As a result, many students HATE TO WRITE!

Written in a format that appeals to readers - brief, practical and to the point - this aptly named book focuses on the four areas of writing that are most problematic for students with ASD: language, organisation, sensory and visual-motor skills with a heavy emphasis on technology.

The book is organised under topics such as:

  • Getting Started
  • Knowing What to Write
  • Getting Stuck
  • Misunderstanding the Directions
  • and many more.
