Product Description

Review

‘… offers a comprehensive summary of both theory and practice.’ Autism

‘Practical help and guidance for those caring for adults with autism.’ Professional Nurse


Product Description

From childhood services to adult provision, the needs of an individual develop and change, yet the literature addressing specific adult requirements is scarce. This volume sets out to fill this gap and provides practical help and guidance specifically for those caring for the growing recognised population of adults with autism. Issues of theory and practice from both local and international perspectives are included. Subsequent chapters analyse the implications arising from thought and behaviour inflexibility with emphasis on the management of transition and bereavement. Models for practice in employment and further education and also pharmacological and educational approaches to mental health problems, epilepsy and challenging behaviour are concluded by a chapter which develops many themes of this publication as the basis for a practitioner training programme in residential settings. An essential guide for all those concerned with the care and well being of adults with autism including parents, researchers, practitioners and community care workers.

4.0 out of 5 stars It is refreshing to read a book on autism and adults, 20 Jun 2001
This book is welcomed by the many who work with adults who have autism. There are plenty of examples of the problems faced by those in residential services (both carers and service users) with possible solutions offered. The book is written by an author who has built up a particular expertise working with adults and the problems of adult life faced daily by all of us, and with the added dimension of those with autism. The book is easy to read and an invaluable reference aid.
