Product Description
This book is for parents, teachers and caregivers of youngsters with autistic spectrum disorders. Written in plain English, it offers practical strategies for preventing or managing the sorts of challenging behaviour most likely to be encountered. With detailed case studies and key tips that allow it to be used as a quick reference, it also offers a step by step framework that enables readers to devise their own solutions. The book's core message can be summed up in a single phrase: to change a child's behaviour you need to be able to make sense of that behaviour - and making sense of that behaviour means making sense of his or her autism.

Communication, Summer 2001
Its strength lies in the author's ability to offer common sense practical that can be followed on a daily basis.
From the Publisher
We are pleased to offer this practical book which offers useful ideas for managing and preventing challenging behaviour in youngsters with autistic spectrum disorders. This is applied psychology at its very best.
From the Author
For parents and teachers whose time is scarce and who need ideas NOW. Written to be 'dipped into', these books keep theory and jargon to a minimum. Each one features a host of common problems and concerns--and each is packed with a wealth of practical strategies and solutions.
Customer Reviews
Too much idealism (in my opinion)
Great if you have the time, energy and determination to spend 2 weeks writing down your child's tantrum times, reasons, surroundings, weather conditions and pulse rate. OK, yes I'm exagerating, but this book will make you feel a failure, because you can't do all that they suggest. And if you don't do all that they suggest then you are led to believe that finding a solution to your childs problem will never be found.
If you are struggling - don't get this book - find a self help group with other parents. You will learn more and you will build up a help network. Stay positive
