This book is essential for anyone interested in learning about the
therapeutic potential of orthodox and state-of-the-art supports for
autistics. Using research evidence, supports are rated using a
Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Tin category system. 'Gold' is extremely
promising and use with confidence, whereas 'Tin' is extremely
unsafe and potentially life threatening. This book, however, is
more complex than just presenting literature reviews about supports
for autistics and then rating the efficacy of the support. In
addition to this, the insights and experiences of autistics about
the autism supports examined are presented. Such testimonials
provide an insider perspective from those who ultimately stand to
benefit or suffer after receiving a support - namely autistics
themselves.

Filled with strategies and advice, this empowering guide presents
practical ways to improve the mental wellbeing of people on the
Autism Spectrum. This helpful guide focusses on the specific
difficulties that can arise for people on the autism spectrum who
may also experience a mental illness. The book includes information
on common mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, as
well as strategies for improving sleep patterns and mindfulness.
Providing guidance on the benefits and drawbacks of therapy pets,
medication, and psychotherapy, the authors offer balanced
perspectives on treatment options and introduce self-help
strategies tailored to meet your needs and improve your mental
wellbeing. A number of short personal narratives from people on the
autism spectrum and mental health issues illustrate the text. The
book also includes a list of resources, books and organisations
that can provide further support and inspiration.
