 Jodi Developed Autism, But I'm Still Sane And Here To Tell The Tale!
I'm Not Naughty, I'm Autistic is the true story of my son Jodi Shaw.
At 18 months old, he suddenly changed from being a happy, lively baby to a toddler from hell.  He became withdrawn, refused to talk, play or be touched, and was unable to concentrate or be still for more than a few seconds.
 This book was written because of peer pressure and although written by me, his mother, it's written  from Jodi's own perspective, so it's really easy to read.
It  is an account of growing up with autism, the difficulties faced by Jodi, 13 years old at the time of writing, and our family. 
 The situations are not underplayed, but are recounted with empathy and humor and deal with obtaining a diagnosis, seeking support, and above all, learning to live with autism 24 hours a day! This book has no chapters and is so engaging it's very difficult to put down!

Review

I'm Not Naughty- I'm Autistic takes the reader beneath the skin of an autistic child, and it is not a cosy or happy place to be. Just how uncomfortable and frustrating - and terrifying - is easier to identify with after reading this mothers account. Do read this book. -- familyonwards.com

A lovely, lighthearted version of a life living with autism. This is a view of autism through the eye of Jodi written by his mother. It encompasses some funny moments that many parents of autistic children can relate to. The book shows that autism is not the be all and end all, and that we as neuro-typical types are as odd to the autistic community as society deems them to be. Jean Shaw also gives a lovely insight into the Son Rise programme and how well it can work if given enough commitment. A really lovely, easy to read biography of Jodi's life thus far. -- Action for ASD Newsletter

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jean Shaw started her literary career by accident writing poetry and her work has been featured in two best selling books. She lives in UK and believes things happen for a reason.

Her first three books were written because of peer pressure, and the first, her favourite, was snapped up by a publisher in less than a week. Her writing is conversational and friendly.

Jean's youngest son has autism and she links that and other health issues to mercury poisoning caused by dental amalgams. All the details and stories in her books on these subjects are true and sadly, do happen to people.

Jean's books are mostly non-fiction and based on personal experiences.

Jean likes condensing stories into rhyming verse and many of her books contain poems she's written. She's especially proud of her A Life In Rhyme series of poetry books and her two children's books - Jodi Goes To The Farm and Jodi Goes To The Zoo, which are completely educational rhyming verse.

Jean considers herself to be a hobbyist author and loves creating books for children. She also narrates most of her books herself, and these can be found on Audible.

I chose this rating because I thought it was a very good account. It was also written as though the lad with autism wrote it. It will go a long way towards helping people understand that someone with autism is not being naughty. There is a reason for their behaviour.
