The Autism Resource Manual for Families is a treasure trove of
practical, realistic, and achievable strategies to support
neurodivergent young people and their families with everyday life.
Clearly laid out for easy use and access, it explains autism in
context, and provides ideas that are relevant not just for parents
and carers, but for family support workers, social workers, and
family intervention teams. The resource covers a wide range of
situations and offers an array of supports, with key topics ranging
from anxiety, behaviour, and communication, to socialising, family
life, and moving towards independence. With the lived experiences
of parents and autistic children and young people in mind, this
empowering manual includes: A wealth of situations from daily life,
clearly addressed with examples of how autistic individuals may
experience these and practical strategies for effective support
Encouragement for parents and quick mantras for autistic children
and young people to use in different situations Strategies for
supporting autistic children in daily family life, including
working with siblings, family holidays and eating out Advice for
helping autistic young people through school, including attendance,
homework and after-school exhaustion Guidance on initiating and
carrying out productive conversations, as well as downloadable
resources for visual conversation support. This book will be an
essential tool for parents and carers of neurodivergent children
and young people, as well as family or parent support workers and
family intervention teams. It will also be valuable reading for
pastoral teams, CAMHS, and social workers supporting these
families.
