This book demystifies and rectifies the problems inherent in autism by examining in clear terms the whole panorama of the subject, not just individual bits, beginning with its history and including practical advice at every level, yet without being an overblown medical-type textbook. It unravels and demystifies medical, psychiatric and psychological terminology to reveal what autism really is and what it means to be autistic in day-to-day life and then analyze its strengths and weaknesses in order to offer practical and constructive advice on dealing with it directly on its own terms, as it affects each individual and family.This book is a comprehensive look at the subject, drawn from a number of avenues of thought and knowledge, including anecdotal ones, as well as a series of ideas, research and commentary gained from numerous sources around the world.
