What’s for Dinner?! is a warm, affirming children’s book that explores mealtime through an autistic lens. Told from the perspective of a loving family, this story explains food selectivity, sensory sensitivities, and the importance of respect at the table.

Nehemiah (Miah) is a big brother with a big imagination. At just 6 years old, Miah was able to name every dinosaur that walked this earth millions of years ago. His other captivations include storm chasing, natural disasters, and what to do in the event of a shark attack. His remarkably funny humor and love for people and animals, will make you fall in love with his kind, nurturing spirit.

Miah was diagnosed with Level 2 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Selective Mutism, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) at the age of 10. Nehemiah's late diagnosis came with many challenges in his social communication, self-esteem, and behavior. Early intervention is imperative to getting your child the help they need.
