Intervention and Support for Parents and Carers of Children and Young People on the Autism Spectrum
By: Wright, Barry; Williams, Christine
Published by: Jessica Kingsley Publishers
The needs of parents and carers of children on the autism spectrum are not met by conventional parenting strategies. This resource for trainers and facilitators offers the best available knowledge and theories to help them develop an understanding of how their child perceives the world and ultimately improve their family life. The manual is divided into ten sessions that introduce a topic related to autism and Asperger Syndrome, for example, 'mindblindness' and the social world, and strategies to manage individual behaviour. During each session parents are introduced to a new topic and are invited to participate in exercises and group discussions that serve to reinforce the key messages discussed earlier. Each session closes with recommended reading and 'homework'. This manual is a valuable resource for professionals working with parents of children and young people with autism and Asperger Syndrome and is an effective complement to How to Live with Autism and Asperger Syndrome: Practical Strategies for Parents and Professionals published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers, which is referenced throughout the resource.

Look Me in the Eye
By: Robison, John Elder
Published by: Crown Publishing Group
Ever since he was small, John Robison had longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits—an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother in them)—had earned him the label “social deviant.

The Mislabeled Child
By: Eide, Brock; Eide, Fernette
Published by: Hyperion
Paving the way for understanding. This work is a definitive look at learning disabilities and the brain from two neurologists who specialise in clarifying the help parents need to get and give their children. Parents and doctors often treat learning disability based on behaviour rather than what is actually occurring in the brain. A diagnosis of ADHD can stem from many things and medication won't cure the fact that the child in question may have a sensory impairment (hearing/vision) or a brain that isn't wired to retain information for longer than 10 minutes without some kind of stimulating break. Two extremely simple examples: the Eides have written comprehensively on every kind of learning difficulty, from dyslexia to dysgraphia, and even the issues provoked by the notion of "giftedness". "The Mislabelled Child" is a complete, ordered look at these disorders from two experienced neuropsychologists who have pioneered the study of (as well as being parents of) gifted or learning disabled children. It provides an answer to the parents of the millions of children with significant learning and behavioural problems; to the teachers who are responsible for their education; to home schooling families who have been unable to find the requisite help within the system; and to the many therapists and other health professionals whose mission is to care for them.
