A key issue for researchers and practitioners is how to support the
social engagement of children with autism in ordinary, everyday
social processes that are transactional in nature and involve mixed
groups of children, with and without autism, in rich and varied
relationships. Autism and the Social World of Childhood brings
together current understandings about the social engagement of
children with autism, gained from psychology-based research into
autism, with well-established ideas about children's everyday
social worlds, gained from sociocultural theories of childhood. It
describes the experiences of interaction, friendship and play from
children's own point of view as a way of giving insight into
children's lives as they are lived and understood by them. Such an
understanding serves to inform educational practice and aids the
provision of more effective learning environments. Autism and the
Social World of Childhood includes sections on: the nature of play,
social interaction and friendship in autism the nature of
children's ordinary social worlds, including children's cultures of
communication and variation in children's play research approaches
to investigating the social engagement of children with and without
autism in natural contexts educational approaches to supporting the
integration of children with autism within a school setting the
importance of assessment in autism education. Autism and the Social
World of Childhood includes real life descriptions of children's
social experiences taken from ethnographic research into the play
and interaction of children with and without autism. Practical
guidance is provided on educational approaches to supporting the
inclusion of children with autism within the ordinary social worlds
of childhood.
