"Dr Larson Kidd's approach draws from the vast amount of information available on parenting a child with autism and distils it into ten manageable steps. It covers the key aspects of life with a child on the autism spectrum, including the basics such as sleeping,eating and toileting, through adapting the home, creating routines and exploring therapy. Ready-to-implement strategies are outlines simply and clearly, and are firmly grounded in the author's extensive experience of supporting children with autism." - BOOK JACKET
