Thank you for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

As someone that works with children in emotional support classrooms, this book gave advice that allows me to assist them better. I will definitely be utilizing the advice of the author when dealing with anxiety in autistic teens, as I encounter this a lot at work.

Thank you to Net Galley and Future Horizons for an e-ARC of this title in exchange for my honest review.
