More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
When the author's son, Matthew, was finally diagnosed with autism at 12 years old, they thought the diagnosis marked the end of their troubles. In fact, despite the increase in reported levels of autism, appropriate support and clear information were hard to find. The author points out that parents, who could be a valuable source of information and help to busy professionals, are seldom involved in the educational process, and are often made to feel guilty about their children's autism. In this book, the author provides an explanation of the autistic specturm and dissects and dispels some of the myths about autistic behaviour and various types of autism. Intended for the professionals who work with autistic people and their families and friends, this book draws on the Stanton family's experiences, and the experiences of other families, to offer a portrayal of what living with autism is actually like for all those involved and to argue that learning to live with autism is a two-way process.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Mike Stanton for writing this book! When my son aged eleven was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, I didn't know what to do. He was due to start secondary school and I thought he'd never cope. Your book has helped me understand him better and advise the school on how to help him. It has been such a great help. I would recomend it to anyone.

My son has recently been diagnosed with this condition after a long and drawn out battle with the useless systems in place! I wanted to read a parental guide to help me understand. I found this book very helpful although the boy in this book was obviously quite severe with his condition where as my son is only mild case. In light of this I couldnt relate to some of the situations described.

This book is and was fantastic for helping everyone who has to have contact with my son in both school and socially. We have made it a must have item in his class room for all the teachers to access when they need direction. It is simple, quick for reference and so easy to navigate when you need an answer quickly.
We need more of this type of book it makes such a difference to everyone.
