Navigating Autism Together Through Social Stories
As a parent, witnessing your autistic child experience a meltdown can be overwhelming, heartbreaking, and at times, isolating. You want to help them feel safe, understood, and in control—but how? Autism: Calming the Chaos! is here to guide you and your child through those tough moments with warmth, empathy, and practical strategies.
This engaging and beautifully illustrated children’s book follows Adrián, a 10-year-old autistic boy, as he navigates the ups and downs of emotional regulation. Through relatable real-life scenarios, this book helps autistic kids understand their emotions, build self-esteem, and embrace their uniqueness—all while providing parents and caregivers with the tools they need to support their child with confidence.
Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, teacher, or therapist, Autism: Calming the Chaos! is a powerful tool that fosters understanding, self-acceptance, and emotional growth. Through Adrián’s journey, your child will see that they are not alone—and that meltdowns don’t define them.
Let’s make emotional regulation less stressful and more empowering—for both you and your child.

Even though none of my daughters are autistic, the book Autism Calming the Chaos was very eyeopening to the world of autism, easy to read with very well done illustrations. It helps you understand meltdowns and shows you how to respond in a respectful matter. Great book to teach about autism to people who dont knoe in detail about what autism is.

This book would be a great gift for anyone who has a neurodivergent child in their lives. It offers very clear and straightforward explanations of behaviors frequently seen in neurodivergent children and most importantly offers strategies for how to best manage these behaviors and make sure an autistic child can thrive. It is also written with incredible empathy towards both children and parents. Highly recommend!

The book was very different I got the books for my kids so they could understand why their cousin who is in the spectrum had the meltdowns specially in family reunions, the illustrations were nicely done and the story is perfect to explain children about autism, it opened my eyes too to learn more about autism

I picked up Autism: Calming the Chaos! to better understand what my friend’s child, who’s on the spectrum, goes through, and it was exactly what I needed. We’ve hung out at a few gatherings, and I’ve seen my friend’s kid have meltdowns, but I never really understood what triggered them. My friend suggested the book, so I decided to give it a try. The story is told by a real kid on the spectrum, and it’s super easy to follow and understand. I’m honestly surprised at how informative and empathetic a children’s book can be. I’m sure this book could help promote inclusion and understanding among kids who aren’t familiar with autism.

This book is awesome! I had no idea what my best friend and his kid go through every day. Its very honest, the drawings are very nicely done, and I’m happy the story helped me understand how I can actually help support them better. Highly recommend it to anyone who has little knowledge of day to day autism.
