    Reasonably Adjustments for Autistic Children - L Beardon. 

    This relatively cheap, very no nonsense book is a guide to what “reasonable adjustments” actually means in different contexts and how to go about requesting them. 

    Unfortunately it’s probably the staff at your son’s school that need to read this book not you. A Christmas gift for the staff room maybe?

    Just ordered the book!Thank you for your reply.Im really new to autism and everything about it,and I don’t really know where to start!
    I found this community on line researching for information and advices,I’m feeling so miserable as my son school don’t want to support him,or maybe is my fault as I don’t have a clue about anything regarding it!

    sorry for mistakes but English is not my first language so that’s why the struggle is more difficult for me!
