Friends are hard to come by. True friendship is a combination of many things. Some friends will come and go while others will stay with us for a lifetime. Friendships and relationships are difficult to maintain for anyone, especially for a child with Autism. This book will help your child learn how to make real friendships and avoid friendships where they get taken advantage of. This book provides useful tips and strategies or teaching your child the difference between a real friend and a fake friend.

It is important that children know what not to look for in friendship or that they know of the red flags to look for so that they can avoid being bullied or taken advantage of. Once your child learns what friends are not about then they are ready to begin learning what real friendship is. You will find some personal stories of my own life in this book. It is very hard to find real and true friends. It is my hope by sharing these experiences with you that you and your child will be better prepared and equipped with skills to help your child succeed in friendships.
