This straight-talking and accessible guide for parents of teenagers
on the autism spectrum provides down-to-earth advice on coping with
the more difficult issues that can arise at home and school during
the adolescent years. Andrew Schlegelmilch discusses common
parenting challenges and offers advice drawn from his extensive
experience working with teenagers with autism and their families as
Head Psychologist at a college preparatory school. He offers
parents professional guidance on what to do about falling grades,
how to handle adolescent tantrums, how to talk about sex and
sexuality with your child, how to help your child with peer
relationships, how to keep your child safe online, and what to do
if you suspect your child has mental health problems. Integral to
the discussion is how to set realistic expectations and encourage
independence in ways that work for both your child with autism and
the rest of the family, as well as how to make the best use of the
help professionals can offer.
