The Autistic Spectrum 25th Anniversary Edition: A Guide for Parents and Professionals

Lorna Wing

‘Authoritative, compassionate and commonsensical … an honest, sensitive and thorough introduction to understanding and living with autism … highly recommended.’ - Psychological Medicine

‘Packed with down to earth, practical ideas … readable, interesting … informative … if you buy only one title about autism this year it should be this one.’ - Collette Dritte, Nursery World

Over 500,000 people of all ages in the UK have disorders in the autistic spectrum. About one-third also have varying degrees of learning difficulty. All have impairment of social interaction, communication and imagination - the world appears a bewildering and sometimes frightening place.

This acclaimed, authoritative guide explains how people with autism experience the world and why they need an organized, structured environment, presenting a window into the world of those with the disorder. Wing suggests ways of improving communication, developing abilities and widening social interaction, and how to cope with stresses within the family.
