The Autism Experience

The Autism Experience is a guide to bringing up children with Autism Spectrum Disorder written by parents who have themselves navigated the medical maze, braved the behavioural problems and survived the emotional rollercoaster associated with caring for someone with autism. Each chapter is based on a question frequently asked by the parents of ASD children and consists of a clearly written, informative introduction followed by the relevant real-life experiences of parents from around the world.

These allow the reader to learn from the experiences of those who have travelled this road before them - how they have come to terms with the diagnosis; how it has changed their everyday lives, for better and for worse; their strategies for coping with autism. Rich with useful information and personal experience, recounted with wit and raw honesty, The Autism Experience is both an invaluable practical guide and a source of comfort for parents learning to live with autism.
