I am a young adult on the spectrum myself. This is the book I wish my parents had read.

User friendly and easy to read. A very useful guide to simplify what can be a huge issue for families of people on the spectrum. Highly recommended.

A great practical resource for parents who are struggling with who to talk to about their child's disability, what to say and how to say it. Focus is on ASD information but would be relevant to other diagnoses.
