Psychologist's Playbook

Psychologist's Playbook: The Art of Asking - ASD The right questions can change everything. Autism is not just a set of traits; it is a different way of seeing, feeling, and connecting with the world. In this insightful and practical guide, Dr Nistor Becia, MBE, shares the screening tool he has refined over years of working with children, adolescents, and adults across the autism spectrum. This Playbook is more than a checklist. It is an invitation to look beyond labels, to notice the subtle patterns in communication, behaviour, and sensory experiences that may otherwise go unseen. With plain-language explanations, relatable examples, and a focus on both challenges and strengths, it helps families, educators, and professionals open the conversations that lead to understanding and support. Inside you will discover: A clear, structured screening tool for recognising possible signs of autism Real-life examples that bring each trait to life Guidance on when to seek an assessment and what to expect Practical strategies to create supportive environments at home, in school, and at work A balanced perspective that values strengths as much as it addresses needs Whether you are a parent seeking clarity, a teacher wanting to better support a student, or a professional looking for a practical starting point, The Art of Asking - ASD will equip you to recognise the signs, start the right conversations, and take the next steps with confidence.
