Abstract:

'Your child has autism' - four small words with the power to leave parents feeling helpless, overwhelmed and confused. This concise, no-nonsense book will empower parents to regain control of the situation and take the first practical steps towards a calm and happy life with their newly-diagnosed child. Dr. Larson Kidd's approach distils the vast amount of different information available on parenting a child with autism into ten manageable steps. It covers the key aspects of life with a child on the autism spectrum, including the basics such as sleeping, eating and toileting, through to adapting the home, creating routine, and exploring therapy. Ready-to-implement strategies are outlined simply and clearly, and are firmly grounded in the author's extensive experience of supporting children with autism. This practical book will be essential and empowering reading for every parent whose child has recently been diagnosed with autism.
