It offers a new rationale of treatment for children with autism and gives hope to parents that they do not have to accept that they can do nothing about their child's condition. The book gives clear explanations of and insights into the many complex difficulties, which children and families face; - but it also goes further than this in offering solutions. A 'must read' for any parent whose child suffers from autism.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Parents of children with autism will tell you that it is one of the most problematic conditions a family can face. Many times, the extremes of behaviour children with autism can display are caused by distortions of sensory processing experienced by the child. These can often be treated! This book was written by the parent of a child with autism. - A child who screamed in pain when he heard high pitched sound, who became anxious when touched, who rarely made eye - contact. Andrew Brereton's search for answers to his son's problems led him on a journey which spanned the globe. It also led him to high qualifications based in child development and neuroscience. This book taps into the experience and knowledge he gained through heartache and hard work. It offers a fresh approach to the treatment of the problems faced by many children with autism and gives hope to other parents that they do not have to accept the status quo, - that something can be done to help their child. The book offers clear explanations of and insights into the many complex difficulties which children and their families face. It also goes further than this in offering solutions.
