The Growing Up Book for Boys explains the facts behind the growth spurts, body changes and mood swings of adolescence for boys aged 9-14 on the autism spectrum. The pre-teen and teenage years are a confusing time when bodies start acting with a will of their own, friendships change and crushes start to develop. Using direct literal language and cool colour illustrations, this book tells boys all they need to know about growing hair in new places, shaving, wet dreams and unexpected erections. It's full of great advice on what makes a real friend, how to keep spots away, and how to stay safe online. Most importantly, it explains that every body is amazing and unique and encourages young boys with autism to celebrate difference! Review: Five Stars - Very helpful to open up the discussion with my autistic 10 year old. Review: Perfect for ASD teens... - I bought this for my teen grandson who has Aspergers. I wasn't too sure that he'd actually read it - teens being teens - "Oh, you're so embarrassssiiiiing!" However, he did. Took it into his bedroom and read it all. He said he was very grateful for it. Kids don't want to ask, initially, about 'you know what' etc, but this will help.

Awesome book, very informative and we love illustration
We were very pleased with the format of this book. My son was very interested and actually opened up about his change and whay he is feeling. This is very hard for him to do because of his Autism . I recommend thus book for all boys going through puberty and parents trying to speak on the matter without vulgarity in it.
