Meltdown - Asperger's Disorder, Challenging Behavior, and a Family's Journey Toward Hope (Paperback)

For Parents, Educators, Pediatricians, and Mental Health Professionals. Based on dozens of intensive interviews with parents, clinical psychologists, teachers, and more, Meltdown is the fictional story of Benjamin, a boy diagnosed with Asperger's disorder and additional challenging behavior. From the time Benjamin is a toddler, his parents know he is different: he doesn't play with his sister, refuses to make eye contact, and doesn't seem to understand how to communicate with others. And his tantrums are not like normal tantrums; they're violent meltdowns that will eventually make regular schooling-and day-to-day life-impossible. From first clues to diagnosis, navigating the special education system to securing expert help, Benjamin's parents must become his greatest advocates. Together, they learn that the journey toward hope isn't simple-but with the right tools and teammates, it's possible. This book is part of the ORP Library of disability books. www.orplibrary.com
