Book excerpt: Finding out that a child has an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can put an enormous strain on families, and the quality of support offered by professionals at this time can make a huge difference to how they adjust to the news. This book comprehensively sets out the type of support that is most beneficial to families immediately following an ASD diagnosis, and will equip professionals with the information and tools they need to best provide that support. The authors provide all of the key information professionals supporting families at the time of an ASD diagnosis need to know about the diagnostic criteria of ASD, key characteristics, aetiology, prevalence, and prognosis, and explain how to pass on accurate and meaningful information to families, and how to build effective family-professional partnerships. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with 50 families of children with ASD, they provide strategies for helping families understand the options and make informed choices about early intervention programs, set realistic goals, develop effective parenting strategies that build upon the strengths and capacities of the child, and strengthen family support networks. This is an essential resource for any professional involved in supporting families at the time of, or immediately following, an ASD diagnosis, including psychologists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, general medical practitioners, and educators.

Book excerpt: Twenty-four parents poignantly share their experiences with raising a child on the autism spectrum. The challenges can be daunting. Nonetheless, the rewards are immeasurable. As one author notes, such children "will teach you about the meaning of life-the beauty of patterns and seeing life through a different lens."If you are a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, some of the scenarios will be familiar-multiple doctor visits in seeking a diagnosis, questioning your own parenting skills, navigating the educational system, worrying about your child's social life, and trying to stay one step ahead of potential meltdowns, not to mention the stress on the family.But you will also read parents' accounts of their wonderment and admiration when they catch a glimpse of their child's gifts and talents. As a parent of a son or daughter on the spectrum, you can appreciate how such moments remind you, again and again, that you are lucky to have this person in your life.This book is also for you if you don't have a child on the autism spectrum. You probably know someone living on the spectrum, perhaps a family member, a friend, or a neighbor. If you're a professional who works with children, chances are that some of them are on the spectrum. The stories described herein will give you a better understanding of how these children relate to the world, each in their own unique way. Start reading to meet these remarkable families!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most recent epidemiological data from the Centers for Disease Control (2013) suggests that 1 in every 88 children has some form of autism. Autism’s core symptoms surface as problems with social interaction, restrictive interests and abnormal language development, and they often appear quite differently in various children. Parents of children diagnosed with autism are often overwhelmed. They experience a range of feelings that may include denial, wishful thinking, and desperation. Sometimes they pursue unproven or useless treatments and interventions. This book will help professionals who consult with parents to understand autism’s symptoms and to provide proactive guidance. It will also give parents knowledge to understand more fully the problems associated with autism and make decisions that help their child develop to be as fully happy and engaged as possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maureen F. Morrell and Ann Palmer are raising two very different children: Justin, a whirlwind of activity and mood swings, who is supervised in a residential farm community, and Eric, quiet and passive, who lives independently at college. The authors give an account of the striking similarities as well as the stark differences in their experiences of parenting children at opposite extremes of the autism spectrum. The two mothers speak openly about their children's diagnosis and early childhood through to adolescence, young adulthood and the day they leave home. They give a moving account of the challenges they faced and the surprising consolations they found along their sons' very different paths in life. Through their friendship and two decades of shared experiences of parenting an ASD child, each has gained a clear understanding of her own strengths and limitations, as well as those of her child. Parenting Across the Autism Spectrum offers a personal perspective and practical guidance for parents at the start of their journey with autism, especially those whose children are newly diagnosed. It also provides useful insights for professionals working with individuals across the autism spectrum and their families. The book was elected the 2007 Autism Society of America's Outstanding Literary Work of the Year.
