'A wise SatNav for what is often a bewildering, or even scary, zone
of parenting. The book offers real-world, road-tested, child-first
and family-friendly advice; while also highlighting the twin truths
that autism is not a tragedy, and that adaptation and acceptance
are not resignation' David Mitchell, bestselling author and
co-translator of The Reason I Jump 'A must-read for anyone with an
autistic child in their life' Laura James, author of Odd Girl Out
Written by Jessie Hewitson, an award-winning journalist at The
Times, Autism is the book she wishes she had read when her son was
first given the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. It combines
her own experiences with tips from autistic adults, other parents -
including author David Mitchell - as well as advice from autism
professionals and academics such as Professor Simon Baron-Cohen.
Autism looks at the condition as a difference rather than a
disorder and includes guidance on: · What to do if you think your
child is autistic · How to understand and support your child at
school and at home · Mental health and autism · The differences
between autistic girls and boys 'It is incredibly useful and
informative, full of new research and interviews that put right an
awful lot of misinformation. I cannot recommend this highly enough'
The Sun 'Exceptionally useful and informative' Uta Frith, Emeritus
Professor of Cognitive Development, UCL
