Provides a very clear guide for parents from the first intimations that something might not be right with a child, through referral, diagnosis, comorbid conditions, diet, stress management, family support, what to expect and when to get concerned, tackling tough issues and much, much more.
This guide is a supporting tool for those in the early stages of coming to understand aspects of parenting a child with Autism. It is full of advice set out clearly and simply, either in bulleted lists, brief paragraphs or in tables.
Some of the issues discussed include:
• The evaluation and diagnosis
• You and your feelings
• Early intervention strategies
The glossary and the list of resources including websites both of which are found at the end, are helpful, although since this is an American publication New Zealand contacts are of course not listed.
