by Bozena ZawiszPublish: Jun 08, 2020Parenting Book Overview
"How does a young person diagnosed with Autism relate to the world? An easy to understand guide for carers, therapists, and teachers" presents key research-based features of an Autism Diagnosis, in a form of a concise picture book. It is suitable for younger readers as well as for adults who are looking to further their understanding of how a young person with an ASD diagnosis relates to the world. Despite the reported high prevalence of Autism (approximately 1 in 70 according to many sources) children with this diagnosis can be vulnerable to being judged by mainstream standards, as opposed to being supported through efforts to understand their unique ways of learning and relating to their peers and environment. I hope that "How does a young person diagnosed with Autism relates to the world? An easy to understand guide for carers, therapists, and teachers" will contribute to more discussions/reflections around this topic, more understanding and less judgment; making the world a more supportive place for individuals with this diagnosis.
