Too Much Noise for Mia!

Every child with autism is different. But they struggle with many of the same things: language, motor skills, sensory processing, perception, executive functioning, and socialization. These fictional stories show how diverse autistic characters cope with the daily challenges created by neurodiversity. Designed for elementary-aged kids, this series encourages understanding and acceptance—essential parts of social-emotional learning (SEL). When Mia has to go along to her brother's basketball game, she gets overwhelmed by the loud noises and bright lights. When a ball bounces into the stands right next to Mia, the sensory overload causes a meltdown. Her dad helps her calm down and they are both able to cheer on her brother as he makes a basket. Includes a glossary of important words and tips for reducing sensory overload. Every child with autism is different. But they struggle with many of the same things, including sensory overload.
