This accessible and valuable introduction to caring for a child
with autism is an ideal resource for teachers and members of a
child with autism's immediate and extended family. In clear and
simple language, with many illustrations, the authors tackle common
problems experienced in everyday routines such as eating, sleeping
and going to the toilet, as well as how to cope with aggression and
tantrums, preoccupations and compulsions and how to enable better
communication and socialising. Based on up-to-date research and
using many case examples, the authors consider step-by-step why
each problem may be happening and suggest a number of solutions.
The needs of parents and carers of children on the autism spectrum
are not met by conventional parenting strategies. This resource for
trainers and facilitators offers the best available knowledge and
theories to help them develop an understanding of how their child
perceives the world and ultimately improve their family life. The
manual is divided into ten sessions that introduce a topic related
to autism and Asperger Syndrome, for example, 'mindblindness' and
the social world, and strategies to manage individual behaviour.
During each session parents are introduced to a new topic and are
invited to participate in exercises and group discussions that
serve to reinforce the key messages discussed earlier. Each session
closes with recommended reading and 'homework'. This manual is a
valuable resource for professionals working with parents of
children and young people with autism and Asperger Syndrome and is
an effective complement to How to Live with Autism and Asperger
Syndrome: Practical Strategies for Parents and Professionals
published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers, which is referenced
throughout the resource.
