Description

To many of the people who live or work with an individual with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the processes by which those with autism make sense of the world around them may seem mysterious.

In Understanding and Working with the Spectrum of Autism Wendy Lawson demonstrates these processes using comparisons from the non-ASD world to help professionals, families and carers to relate to and communicate with people with ASD better.

Exercises at the back of the book encourage the reader to reflect on what has been discussed.

The second part of the book contains chapters presenting a range of interventions and strategies for particular situations.

Wendy illustrates her text with examples from her own life and from the lives of those she has met or worked with to clarify her points.

She analyses ASD characteristics and examines interventions for dealing with social skills, anger management and self-esteem.

Stress, its effects on the families of children with autism, and how best it can be alleviated, is also explored. Wendy writes in the light of her personal experience of an autism spectrum disorder as well as that of the available literature to create a book that is both readable and wide-ranging, furthering understanding of the links and differences between neurotypical individuals and those with ASD.

Her book is an essential introduction to ASD for social workers, nurses, health professionals and those working in related fields.
