Description
Diagnosis Asparagus Advocating for Assessment and Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Conditions by Catherine O'Halloran and Eva Penrose is a heartwarming account of one family's journey with autism. Eva, who was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome at 11, shares her story alongside her mother, a speech and language therapist. Together they explore the reasons for seeking a diagnosis, the assessment process, and their reactions to the news. The book also delves into how diagnosis has helped them find strategies to overcome the challenges of living with an ASD. This life-affirming book offers valuable insights for families embarking on the assessment process as well as professionals looking for a deeper understanding of a family's diagnosis journey.
