Synopsis

This accessible support guide provides practical advice for parents and carers who have an autistic child or young person. Being the guardian to anybody, neurotypical or not, comes with daily struggles. However, caring for an autistic child or young adult comes with a complex set of challenges, which can feel overwhelming and isolating when you do not have the right support system and resources to meet your loved one’s specific needs.
Written for parents and carers at any stage of their journey with autism, this friendly, illustrated guide provides an accessible overview of key information and terminology with advice on all aspects of a carer’s role from diagnosis, education and healthcare to employment and ageing. Offering strategies and guidance based on personal experience alongside other lived experience stories, A Practical Guide to Autism

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

DR ANDY EVANS is a writer, autistic advocator and carer to his autistic adult son. Autism and dyslexia have been part of his world for 30 years, following the diagnoses of his children who have a mixture of both. When he began this journey, Andy had no prior knowledge of autism or dyslexia but quickly learnt that the best and most reliable help and support was from those with lived experience. Over the years he has continued to support other families to help them advocate for their loved ones, and advocates locally for better services for autistic people. He contributes regularly to the users and carers groups of the Central North West London Mental Health Services and supports a local charity, MK Autism, with research and articles.
