Description
Learning to Live with High Functioning Autism: A Parent's Guide for Professionals offers an honest portrayal of what living with autism is like for all those involved. Written by Mike Stanton, who has firsthand experience of raising his son Matthew, who was diagnosed with high functioning autism at 12 years old.
The book provides a clear explanation of the autistic spectrum and dispels some of the myths about autistic behaviour and types of autism. It draws on the Stanton family's experience, comparing it to others, to offer support and encouragement for families of children with autism, as well as valuable information and advice for professionals working with autistic children and their families.
At its heart, Learning to Live with High Functioning Autism is a book about the two-way process of learning to live with autism. It aims to provide an insight into the world of autistic children and the problems they face, helping all those involved to better understand each other.
