Product Description

Product Description

What causes autism? What happens to children with autism when they grow up? Does autism run in families? What kind of educational setting is best? In collaboration with the National Autistic Society, the authors have discovered the questions on the minds of parents and professionals, and have attempted to answer them. Autism is a puzzling disorder. It begins in early childhood, and disrupts many aspects of development, leaving the child unable to form social relationships or communicate in the usual way. This fascinating book explains in a clear, straighforward manner what is known about the condition. It also provides helpful information about all the relevant organizations. Written first and foremost as a guide for parents, but required reading for interested professionals, it covers the recognition and diagnosis of autism, its biological and physiological causes, and the various treatments and educational techniques available. It presents the facts, allowing the reader to take an informed position about children with autism.

4.0 out of 5 stars Small and to the point, 3 Feb 2004
This review is from: Autism: The Facts (Paperback)
Once your child is diagnosed it is very easy to fall into the "buy every book going on the subject" world. This book is good, but it is so like all the others. If you are looking for some answers and help - find a self help group with parents of special needs children. I did this and have learnt more in 7 hours (over 7 weeks) than I did reading 8 books (@130 GBP's) on the subject. These parents have tried and tested real ideas. And keep your head up - it will get better

1.0 out of 5 stars A very disappointing book, 14 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Autism: The Facts (Paperback)
I found this book very disappointing. It describes the classic face of autism and does not, as the title might infer, cover the whole autistic spectrum. This book only serves to strengthen the widely held misconceptions about autism. If you are looking for an up-to-date book covering the full autistic spectrum, then this is not what you are looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars An ideal starting point for anyone who wishes to find out mo, 21 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Autism: The Facts (Paperback)
This book is a simple summary of the condition. Very easy to read and extremely enlightening. It was the first book I read after my daughter was diagnosed and although I have read several more since then this is the one I come back to time and time again. I would recommend anyone who wants to know the basic facts of autism to buy this book.
