If your child rarely shows you that he or she loves you, it can be
profoundly distressing. This is the experience of many parents of
children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and most fear that
it reflects the truth. In fact the truth has generally more to do
with the difficulty that young people with an ASD have in
communicating like or love for someone physically and verbally.
They may not know how to go about expressing themselves in these
ways, or understand that family members and friends can find the
absence of demonstrative affection upsetting. This book, by world
leading experts Tony Attwood and Michelle Garnett, addresses this
issue in practical terms. They provide carefully designed
activities for parents to work through with their children to help
them to understand and express affection. Their child will learn to
identify his or her own and others' comfort and enjoyment range for
gestures, actions and words of affection and the different ways to
express feelings for someone, appropriate to each relationship and
situation. The activities are simple, straightforward, and very
carefully structured, so that they can be undertaken at the pace
that works for the individual family. The book also guides the
adult through the challenges faced by the child, leading to greater
understanding and confidence in their relationship with their
child, and increased ability to nurture the child's ability to form
engaged relationships and friendships with others. Readers of Tony
Attwood's previous books will recognise his warm, positive and
empowering approach. The book will be a transformative resource for
parents and family worried about their child's emotional life.
