Would you use a book like this?

Hi there!

A few years ago I published a series of three articles about visiting Disney with sensory sensitivities, behaviors, or ADHD. People are still making copies, and I've had a few people ask if I would make it into a small book.

So, I am curious. Do you think there could be a need for something like this? Would you want a ebook or a real book?

Thanks, even if your answer is no!

hey, if you can publish it and make some profit from it (although i know that is not your first priority for doing it), then i say take credit for the hard work you put in to it. i think it would be very marketable...i would definitely suggest it to people for purchase! (this is the rn in me speaking also...i get asked quite a lot about travelling with special needs kids and almost exclusively the questions center around adhd kids) bring it, girl!

Sounds interesting maybe as an ebook but with Open Mouse which has a great amount of info in it, I personally would rather have an ebook to supplement that guide with some info.

while i agree with amy, the open mouse book is for lots and lots of other things, while you have narrowed it down to a specific behaviour issue. i still say go for it, publish, girl, publish!

I would definetly like a little book like that. Our son has a lot of sensory sensitivities and is on the autism spectrum, so any extra info is always helpful. Open Mouse is great but also covers a wide variety and can only contain so much. I can't wait to see what you come out with!

So do you mean a small-ish book that is specialized for your individual needs?

FOr example, you might use one on AS and sensory sensitivities? Would you use one that had a little guidance for creating a survival plan or prepping your child?

If it had info about how to include your child's school staff in preparation, would you feel comfortable asking the school staff to add their input and, perhaps, do a little rehearsal or role play?

I could also use a book like that!! Sometimes I am at a quandary as to handle unusual situations at the parks. Having a son with Aspergers/Anxiety and ADHD!!!! He's gotten better, but since his diagnoses came late, I'm still learning.
