Autism has long been a misunderstood condition, with 40% of sufferers waiting more than three years for a clear diagnosis. This book provides a very useful overview for parents or carers in the process of getting a diagnosis or caring for a child or young person with autism.
The book has an easy to read, accessable style, with information on possible causes, early signs in children and related conditions. It also explains what to expect from doctors and psychologists during diagnosis and treatment, which is very useful. Dealing with doctors can be daunting enough, but even more so if you are feeling anxious or vulnerable.
'Autism - A Parent's Guide' would make a great starting point for anyone living with autism in their family and is available to buy from the Need2Know website.
For a more personal story, why not check out this recent post from mummy blogger Crystal Jigsaw about her daugther's diagnosis with autism.
