"This comprehensive book is written by two leading experts in the field. Going back to the causes of autism it then moves on to how it manifests at the various ages and stages of a child's life. Helpful advice is given on practical aspects, including as diet and nutrition, the importance of self-care for parents, how to cope with common problematic behaviours, conditions that can often appear in conjunction with autism (such as anxiety and depression), and how best to manage the child's transition to adulthood. Examples from real life help with the feelings of isolation many parents can experience and they will benefit from these experiences which help to make the book relevant and readable. To me, the use of this book goes far beyond parents - family members and anyone working in an educational setting which has students with autism will find this accessible and empathetic book a valuable resource, which dispels many of the myths and gives practical and supportive advice."
