Description
Autism: A Guide to Raising a Happy Autistic Child Autism is a book that offers real-world advice on raising a happy autistic child. It highlights the twin truths that autism is not a tragedy, and that adaptation and acceptance are not resignation. Jessie Hewitson, an award-winning journalist, shares her own experiences with tips from autistic adults and other parents, as well as advice from autism professionals and academics. This book looks at the condition as a difference rather than a disorder, keeping your child's happiness at the centre of the conversation. It provides guidance on what to do if you think your child is autistic, how to understand and support your child at school, how to create an autism-friendly home, and how to navigate the healthcare system. By following this book, you can help your child advocate for themselves with confidence. This parenting journey may not always be easy, but you have come to the right place to get started. With practical advice and expert guidance, Autism offers a supportive and reassuring approach to raising a happy and fulfilled autistic child.
