Description
This book provides new insights into autism from expert, Phoebe Caldwell, who has been a leader in this area for fifty years. The Anger Box is one of Phoebe Caldwell’s best-selling books which moved attention away from the symptoms of autism towards understanding and alleviating sensory overload experiences for autistic people.
The Good Box brings ideas from The Anger Box and Hall of Mirrors, Shards of Clarity, another best-seller of Phoebe’s with a decade of her updated autism research. As Phoebe’s new book title suggests, it reflects the move from distress in autism to more positive and inclusive insights and acceptance of autism.
