When a child is diagnosed with Autism a lot of the focus centres around the child. Parents often feel overwhelmed, uncertain of the future and, even long after a child’s diagnosis, struggle to know how to cope day-to-day.

The Autism Parents’ Guide to Reclaiming Your Life recognises that parents need support too. It covers a number of areas including understanding Autism’s impact on the parent, how to meet the challenges of parenting an Autistic child and helping parents to find strength.

I highly recommend Deanna Picon’s book. It is not only suitable for parents but also a useful resource for those working in schools and with parents of Autistic children.
