Product Description
Review
'A basic text for all professionals working in the field as well as for parents.' - Judith Gould, The Centre for Social and Communication Disorders
Product Description
Over 500,000 people of all ages in the UK have disorders in the autistic spectrum. About one-third also have varying degrees of learning difficulty. All have impairment of social interaction, communication and imagination - the world appears a bewildering and sometimes frightening place. Wing's acclaimed guide explains how people with autism experience the world and why they need an organized, structured environment. She suggests ways of improving communication, developing abilities and widening social interaction, and how to cope with stresses within the family.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Too negative,
By Rufus's mum (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Autistic Spectrum: A Guide for Parents and Professionals (Paperback)
The first half of this book is very interesting and tells you a lot about what to expect from an autistic child (I read it because my son has symptoms of autism). Unfortunately the book goes on to predict a depressing future for autistic adults which really got me down, and for this reason I recommend you don't read it as a first guide to autism.
There are plenty of more positive, practical books which explain autism and also give you ways to coax your child out of his autistic world and set him on a path to a more 'regular' life (eg 'Playing laughing and learning with children on the autism spectrum'). Read such books as these alongside Lorna Wing's and her book will be less depressing.

Compulsory reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Autistic Spectrum: A Guide for Parents and Professionals (Education Series) (Hardcover)
If you haven't read much about autism, this is the best possible place to start; if you've read lots about autism, you'll still find new information and insights in here. Lorna Wing is a renowned researcher who is also the mother of an autistic daughter herself, and she combines the two perspectives to provide a positive and reassuring guide to understanding autism and coping with it on a day-to-day basis.

The Autistic Spectrum,

This review is from: The Autistic Spectrum: A Guide for Parents and Professionals (Paperback)
We have learnt more, through reading this book, than we have from any other source of information relating to autism. The most important aspect of this book is allowing others an insight into the condition wihtout creating fear and most importantly it allowed us to realise, we are not alone.Excellently written, easy reading and a thoroughly educational insight into autism.
