The sensory perceptual issues and communication difficulties commonly experienced by people on the autism spectrum not only cause discomfort but can also lead to challenging and sometimes baffling behaviours.

This accessible book is a comprehensive source of practical advice for parents, teachers and carers of children on the autism spectrum. The authors offer positive strategies for dealing with a range of issues including sleep disorders, toilet training, social skills and sensory dysfunction. Recognising that children experience the world differently, they also provide a number of possible solutions for each potential difficulty.

Combining straightforward information on specific difficulties with practical advice, this book will prove invaluable to anyone involved in the care of a child on the spectrum.
