Hello from an Autistic child's Nanny.

Hi NAS21361,

We have a lot of information here on the NAS website that might be the kind of thing you're looking for. You can see the 'What is Autism' page here - http://www.autism.org.uk/about/what-is.aspx - and the more general 'About Autism' page here which has links to various different topics - http://www.autism.org.uk/about.aspx.

Hope that's of some help,

You might want to read this, as it's well-informed, upbeat and written for a broad audience:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Aspergers-Syndrome-Spectrum-Disorder/dp/1843106698/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1505293706&sr=8-1&keywords=complete+guide+to+autism

But I would be inclined first to see if your daughter alread has any self-study material, so that you can be on the same page, so to speak. You might find too that she already has this book, as it is widely read.
