Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

By Gavin Reid and Jo-Ann Page

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong developmental condition that is typically apparent from an early age. ASD is essentially a social and linguistic difference that impacts on most aspects of school and home life. Because it is such a broad spectrum, the levels of accommodation and intervention required by individuals with ASD can vary enormously. Part of the How to Help series of books exploring issues commonly faced by children and young people at home and in school, Autism Spectrum Disorder offers a straightforward, jargon-free guide to how individuals with ASD can best be supported to achieve their potential, and the practical ways in which parents, carers, teachers and schools can help. Drawing on personal and professional experience to explore issues related to identification, intervention, educational provision and more, Jo-Ann Page and Gavin Reid argue that it is the right of every child and young person with autism to lead an inclusive and fulfilling life - and it is up to us as the adults who care for and teach them to ensure than this is made possible.
