Abstract
By giving a concise account of what life may be like following the diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) in the family, this book examines service provision at different stages, and provides information for parents, carers and practitioners. Parents want support and advice during and after a diagnosis of ASDs, and professionals want to be able to give the right answers. This book will meet the needs of both. Issues dealt with include: - how to help the family. - preparing children with ASDs for the world outside. - keeping expectations high. - how to work together with schools and other agencies. - finding community links
