The book illustrates in a very accessible manner what exactly restricted social communication and interaction, repetitive behaviours, sensory sensitivities and eccentric, special interests are. We get a brief overview of what autism is, the prevalence of low and high-functioning autism in men and women (it is also explained why terms 'low and high- functioning autism' may be unhelpful) and the reasons why fewer women are diagnosed with autism. The book is well-researched, informative and beautifully-illustrated. ‘Camouflage: the hidden lives of autistic women’ is a great introduction into autistic disorder spectrum in women.

Here are a few suggestions that could work well for any grade level: I recommend sharing such books after students have had a chance to explore their own ideas and techniques: at that point, their minds will be expanded even more when they see what “real” artists and illustrators have created with materials like those they just tried out. There are lots of picture books that might complement and enrich a Guided Discovery of paper, scissors, and glue. After this Guided Discovery, when we used collage for class projects or at Academic Choice time, the students’ work was richer and more powerful. The experience expanded the children’s repertoire of ideas for using these materials. I was always amazed at what children could create with these simple materials and the many techniques they used to make two- and three-dimensional works. One of my favorite Guided Discovery lessons led children to explore ways they could use paper, glue sticks (or glue), and scissors. ![]() OctoCategories: Engaging Academics / Guided Discovery ![]() |
