A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

I qualified medicine in 1952 and then trained in psychiatry. I first worked as a clinician and then in research. Because of the experience of having a daughter with typical autism I became involved with research in developmental disorders, especially autistic spectrum disorders. During this time, I joined with a group of other parents. Together, we became founder members of the National Autistic Society. After retiring from full time work 12 years ago, I became consultant to the National Autistic Society’s Centre for Social and Communication Disorders. I still work there part time, being mainly involved with training professional workers in understanding and diagnosing autistic spectrum disorders but I also see some children and adults with their families for diagnosis and assessment. My experiences as a parent, a clinician, a research worker, a member of the National Autistic Society and my local Sussex Autistic Society, and the many opportunities for exchanging ideas with other parents have been invaluable in helping me to write this book.
