The book uses ice cream flavours to represent various aspects of autism such as difficulties with language, social interaction and rigidity of thinking. It includes illustrations and workbook activities to help children cement their understanding of autism. BEING A ‘PEOPLE DETECTIVE’ Autistic people can have a lot of trouble understanding how someone is feeling unless a person tells them. This is because they may not be able to decode the clues in faces and bodies quite as easily as other people. They may even fi nd it uncomfortable to look at someone’s eyes. In this book, we call being good at knowing what other people are thinking being a ‘people detective’. Some people call this ‘social skills’. We can show this tricky trouble in our picture using a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Just as with chocolate ice cream, this scoop can change its size. With a little help and practice, you can start to become a people detective. Then that vanilla scoop starts to get smaller! People can help by saying what they are feeling and why. Autistic people can’t always guess, so this will be very useful.

This can be seen by the fact that half of schools do not teach anything regarding LGBT+, and only 3% include LGBT+ content in two or more subjects. This book will help transform your school into a safe and inclusive place for all students. Written with Educate & Celebrate!, an Ofsted and DFE recognised ‘Best Practice Award Programme’, this book gives teachers, governors and other staff the knowledge, strategies and confidence they need to implement a curriculum that is inclusive for all.
