Instructions Not Supplied is the account of one family's experience
in adopting three children, each of whom turned out to have special
needs, and the challenges they have faced along the way. Some of
the difficult situations they have faced are simply part of a
family life; others are as a direct result of the children's
disabilities and difficulties, including autism, attention deficit
hyper-activity disorder, foetal alcohol syndrome, attachment
disorder and sensory issues. A story of adoption, autism and coming
together as a family, this book describes with honesty and humour
how the behaviour of the children has often challenged the adults
around them. It also explores the process of diagnosis and the
difficulty of getting the right support both for the children and
their parents, with insights for all parents and teachers of
children with complex needs. The book is a unique insight into the
twin challenges of adoption and disability, an invaluable read for
prospective adopters and adoptive parents as well as natural
parents of children with additional support needs. It is equally
valuable for practitioners, as it gives an insight into the family
life of those parenting such children and how best to support them.
