This is a good study which sums up the increased body of
knowledge concerning autism (a work in progress) in the
UK. Bear in mind that the US and UK freely share knowledge in this area, and that there has been no credible studies or reports which suggests the general background conditions differ between our two countries.
The second is a free online book published by a mother who had a great deal of success remediating her autistic son. I haven’t read thru it yet, but have had it recomended to
me by several parents I know who say it is very
informative. Here is one “review” of it:
“A mother discovers the key to contolling 99% of her
autistic son’s behavioral issues. Her book, Saving Zachary:
The Death and Rebirth of A Family Coping With Autism, is
being made available free of charge on her web site:
autismhelpforyou.com. Exercises she used with her son are
also provided on this site. A new way to look at one piece
of the autism puzzle.” Author: Jeanne A. Brohart
This book is not only very well written, but very hard to
put down. It has many good facts and details which can
assist a family to gain much needed ground with their child
with autism spectrum disorders.
My personal favorite chapter is the Revelation chapter. In
this chapter Jeanne figures out how to help her son and
others like him! In This chapter she discusses the lack of
order vs the lack of routine. This is a must read autism
book for families and professionals of individuals with
autism spectrum disorders. This courageous woman has put
her heart into this book and strength into her child! Keep
up the great work!
