Review : Full of sensible and useful advice, this sensitively written book will be of great comfort and practical help to all families confronted by the complexities of autism."
Jane Asher
President, National Autistic Society
Description: You’ve been wondering – and worrying – for years about why your child is different. And at last you’ve got the answer. They have an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In some ways putting a name to it helps, but in other ways it changes nothing. You’re still left trying to cope with tantrums, withdrawal, sleepless nights, compulsive behaviour or whatever other symptoms your child’s ASD throws up.
What you really want to know is how to get everyone out of the house on time for school, or find time for your other kids, or get a decent night’s sleep for once.
How to Help Your Autistic Spectrum Child is about how to manage precisely those kinds of problems. It shows you:
• simple techniques for communicating with your child
• how to control problem behaviours such as flapping,tantrums and obsessions
• how to give the rest of the family the attention they need
• where to get backup and other help
• how to choose the right school and how to cope once your child is there
