'The layout and presentation of the material are very "user
friendly" and the book is, therefore, easy to read. Those with less
direct experience of living or working with children who are
autistic, including teachers and learning support assistants, who
require some help in appreciating the complex range of behaviours
and responses such children present, will find this little book
illuminating' - Support for Learning "This is a really practical
tool........ the structure of the book is clear and uncomplicated
for the reader to access. This book is based on a wealth of
experience of working closely both with individuals with Autism and
their families. It will be a revelation to professionals interested
in this area and a comfort to carers who live the experience. Most
importantly, it reminds us of the barriers to positive
parent/professional partnership and challenges us to build
supportive bridges to effective intervention for the individual
with Autism. Autism NI (PAPA) was created out of such a dynamic
approach and therefore welcomes this significant commentary on this
critical issue." By giving a concise account of what life may be
like following the diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs)
in the family, this book examines service provision at different
stages, and provides information for parents, carers and
practitioners' - Arlene Cassidy, Chief Executive, Autism NI Parents
want support and advice during and after a diagnosis of ASDs, and
professionals want to be able to give the right answers. This book
will meet the needs of both. Issues dealt with include: " how to
help the family " how to help brothers and sisters " preparing
children with ASDs for the world outside " keeping expectations
high " how to work together with schools and other agencies "
finding community links 'In my view it would be a good read for
relatives, friends and teachers in training to enable them to
understand many of the issues associated with children who have an
autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It points up the various facets of
having and living with a child with autism - as far as possible
from a positive point of view. The authors, from their obvious
extensive experience, have identified many problems and
circumstances that parents/carers are likely to meet and that can
be tackled in a wide variety of ways. The book is designed to raise
these for consideration - and this it does well' - Support for
Learning, Volume 22, Number 2
