The best parenting advice ever!
I have been waiting for this to be published since I pre-ordered it months ago, as you only have to follow The Autism and ADHD Diaries blog to realise exactly how good it is going to be.
And I was right, it is brilliant.
The philosophy of working to understand how the brain of your autistic child works and why it creates the behaviour patterns it does, then amending your own behaviour to work with your child according to THEIR operating system rather than yours, is superbly explained.
The pure practicality of this book is light years ahead of anything else I have ever read about bringing up an autistic child.
And then there is the trump card, the way the book is written and communicated by Punter and Chaney. It is so easy to read, you can read it in one sitting or just dip in and out at will. The use of language is just so clever, just like talking to your best friend.
These guys are not academics, they are smart people who are all about what action makes the biggest difference and why.
I cannot tell you how much, as a parent and grandparent, I need this help.
If you have anything to do with raising or developing an autistic child, be that as a parent, teacher, carer or health professional, you have just got to read this, it is already changing my life as I watch the suggestions work and now I also know why.
