Practical, evidence-based advice for common challenging behaviours and
situations involving autistic children.
Autism spectrum conditions affect about one per cent of the population
and whilst they can present very differently in individual cases, there
are some common traits and challenges faced by autistic people. This
self-help guide focuses on practical, proven techniques to help parents
of autistic children with difficult areas commonly experienced with
autism.
Written by authors with extensive experience in research and working
with children with a wide range of neurodevelopmental difficulties, this
book uses a strength-based approach, helping children to enhance their
strengths, rather than treating problems as impairments needing fixing.
This book will help you to:
- Support your child through anxiety and social interaction issues
- Manage sleep problems and feeding difficulties
- Understand sensory responses in autism
- Deal with challenging behaviour, including self-harm and demand
avoidance
Helping Your Child is a series for parents and caregivers to support
children through developmental difficulties, both psychological and
physical. Each guide uses clinically proven techniques.
