Children on the Autism Spectrum often grow up to find they are
unable to cope effectively with the challenges of adult life. This
book shows that, with the appropriate lifelong care from parents
and carers, it is possible for those with neurodevelopmental
disabilities to achieve supported independence and live fulfilling
adult lives. Adults on the Autism Spectrum Leave the Nest provides
a guide for parents on how to prepare their children for adulthood,
and describes in detail the kinds of services people with Autism
Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) need in order to live independently, away
from the parental home. The author explains the importance of the
cognitive abilities that enable us to regulate behaviour and adapt
to changing situations, known as Executive Functions, and how an
individual's deficits in this area can be especially problematic in
the adult world. The book provides approaches to managing Executive
Function Deficits and describes an innovative therapeutic program
that successfully allows adults with ASDs to live with their peers
and develop meaningful adult relationships. This book provides
practical and accessible guidance for parents, therapists, people
with ASDs, and anyone with an interest in helping people on the
Autism Spectrum lead their lives with a sense of dignity and
independence.
This is a book about the beauty and tranquility of a peaceful
island off the mainland of Puerto Rico. In 2017, it was hit by back
to back hurricanes Irma and Maria. The devastation has been
extensive, but the recovery is sure and necessary. There is no
place in the world like Culebra, so this book memorializes its
beauty.
