Autism and ADHD Book Guide - for children and young people! 📚

Many of these books have been a source of comfort for me, and I hope they may be just as valuable for someone else too.

Note: I have done my best to check the suitability of these books for different ages, but if purchasing for a child or young person, please research yourself to confirm it is appropriate for their age and understanding.

Please take a moment to read and share the findings from the #AdoptionBarometer - it's crucial the voices of adopted people and their families are heard, and we recognise - and respond - to the need for lifelong support. To #keepthepromise we must listen to all voices.

[AdoptionUK Scotland @AUKScot]

The #AdoptionBarometer 2024 is published today. There is some good news, but more families than ever are in crisis and too many adoptees are unable to find the support they need. To read the report, including our recommendations visit https://t.co/GypmCGkGwq
