The Little Book of the Autism Spectrum

This parent and teacher's guide allows anyone who lives or works with children with autism to understand their world through an 'autism lens'. Peering through this 'autism lens' allows us to change in terms of the way we deal with autism as a society and in education. The most positive step we can take with a child with autism is to understand the condition and the world in general, from his or her point of view. This book develops the knowledge and delivers strategies for communication, social interaction and the emotional, behavioral and sensory challenges faced by young people with autism. An essential read for anyone working with children, and young people on the autistic spectrum and it will also prove to be a useful parents' guide to their child's mental health and emotional well-being. "A concisely written work that will be especially helpful for parents trying to get ‘up to speed when their children are newly diagnosed, it covers a wealth of material quickly without over simplifying. —Lars Perner, PhD, Assistant Professor of Clinical Marketing, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California
