I am reading a fantastic book on autism

Nana

Good afternoon,

I have not posted for a while as my husband and I are still waiting for our son's report and I felt I had nothing to share until now.

I am reading a beautiful book called Autism: how to raise a happy autistic child. My son is not formally diagnosed yet but I believe I need to educate myself as much as I can to be the parent he deserves. My husband is reading it too.

I do not know if this is allowed but I would like to suggest this book to other parents with autistic children. 

Also, I would like to thank every each of you for your  support. I want you to know I appreciate it greatly. You make me understand more and more everyday. Thank you.

Have a good day!

  • Thanks for the recommendation. As the mum of a recently diagnosed 9yr old I have been finding there is a huge amount of information out there and a massive difference in the needs of children with ASD. My son was diagnosed specifically with Asperger's or as I think it may now be classed, ASD level 1. I have started reading the "Complete Guide to Asperger's" which someone else on this forum recommended (and helpfully included a link to :-) ) and I am finding it so useful. Do you think this book would be helpful for the parent of a child diagnosed as level 1? I feel there is so much I need to read up about, I don't want to read more than I need to if that makes sense? I've seen loads of books on Amazon that all look really good too!

    Hello,

    You are very welcome. I do believe this book is for anyone interested in knowing more about autism. It has been written with the precious help of autistic professionals and it gives you a better idea of how, for example, they experienced their childhood and life in general through their differences. I am still reading it but I am finding it very helpful. 

    The author of the book is Jessie Hewitson. Try google it and see what you think. :-)
