        A Family with Autism

        When Autism is the Rule, not the Exception

        by Joyce van Maaren

        Four out of your five children have autism, and your husband too! This is what happened to Joyce van Maaren. Over the years four of her children and her husband are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. In A Family With Autism she talks openly about how her life gets turned upside down over and over again, and how the family had to regain their balance. In this inspiring and lovable book, Joyce van Maaren takes the reader on a journey – one with many ups and downs. Readers can find support in her story and discover what autism means for daily life. But most of all, they will be inspired to make the most of every day, even if they or their family has to deal with autism (or other psychological disorders). Target Group: people with autism and their relatives, families of which some members have autism.

        Mindfulness for Adults with Autism

        A Handbook for Therapists and Adults with ASD

        by Annelies Spek

        This book discusses a new type of therapy that can help people with autism to be less overburdened, let go of recurrent thoughts, and get better at recognizing physical signs of stress. Mindfulness includes meditation techniques that are derived from Buddhism and that do not require much communication or insight in thoughts and feelings. This is especially beneficial for people with autism, for whom communication and social interaction can be a challenge.  After a clear introduction to what mindfulness is, each chapter of this book offers a meditation exercise. For each meditation exercise useful tips and tricks are given, as well as potential pitfalls that relate directly to autism. Mindfulness for adults with autism is the first treatment for adults with autism that has proven to be effective. Because of its readability and the beautiful illustrations, this book is highly recommended for both therapists and people with autism.

        More Peace, Less Stress

        A Step-by-Step Guide for Adults with ASD

        by Marja Boxhoorn

        When you have autism, you probably have to cope with stress on a daily basis. Often, people with autism do not know how to recognize stress, what causes stress, and what they can do to reduce it. More peace, less stress offers a useful step-by-step plan. In seven steps, the reader learns what causes stress, how to recognise stress signals, and what they can do to feel more at ease. The book includes practical exercises so new knowledge can be applied right away. Being more at ease means to be able to: have better relationships with a partner, family, friends and colleagues, focus attention to get things done more easily, have a grip on life, instead of experiencing chaos, restlessness and insecurity and feel more powerful and have more self-esteem.

        Autism - A Handbook Of Diagnosis & Treatment Of ASD

        A handbook of diagnosis and treatement of ASD

        by Sumita Bose

        Autism is a complex developmental disability. Generally, Autism presents itself during the first three years of a person's life. The condition has an effect on normal brain function characterized by social impairments, communication difficulties, and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behaviour. Males are five times more likely to be affected than females. As early as infancy, a baby with Autism may be unresponsive to people or focus intently on one item only. A child may appear to develop normally and then withdraw and become indifferent to social engagement. Children may fail to respond to their names and often avoid eye contact with other people. They have difficulty interpreting what others are thinking or feeling because they can't understand social cues. “Autism – A Handbook of Diagnosis & Treatment of ASD” discusses signs, symptoms, causes, myths, facts, therapies, treatment, education, career and many more things related to autism. It provides practical advice so that the special child can lead a quality life to the extent possible. #v&spublishers

        Autism and the Environment

        Challenges and Opportunities for Research, Workshop Proceedings

        by Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders, Institute of Medicine

        Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) constitute a major public health problem, affecting one in every 150 children and their families. Unfortunately, there is little understanding of the causes of ASD, and, despite their broad societal impact, many people believe that the overall research program for autism is incomplete, particularly as it relates to the role of environmental factors. The Institute of Medicine's Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders, in response to a request from the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, hosted a workshop called "Autism and the Environment: Challenges and Opportunities for Research." The focus was on improving the understanding of the ways in which environmental factors such as chemicals, infectious agents, or physiological or psychological stress can affect the development of the brain. Autism and the Environment documents the concerted effort which brought together the key public and private stakeholders to discuss potential ways to improve the understanding of the ways that environmental factors may affect ASD. The presentations and discussions from the workshop that are described in this book identify a number of promising directions for research on the possible role of different environmental agents in the etiology of autism.

But one day Leo learns to communicate with words, although none comes out of his mouth. A beautiful poetic text full of sensitivity and empathy. Carolina Luzón’s illustrations, a mixture of techniques and collage, show a poetic and realistic image to immerse ourselves in Leo’s metaphorical universe.

        Groupwork for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Ages 11-16

        An Integrated Approach

        by Christina Howe, Liz Ann Davidson, Alyson Eggett, Kerrie Old

        These three books include a short, easy-to-read theoretical background to ASD focusing on the underlying impairments and their impact on sensory processing, motor development, play, language and communication skills, social skills, emotional development and behaviour for the relevant age group. Each developmental area is intrinsically linked and progress in one aspect of development is dependent on progress in another so a multi-disciplinary approach is essential. All the books examine the role of various individual professionals while emphasising the need to develop a multi-disciplinary approach combining their areas of expertise. The books also describe a multi-disciplinary approach to groupwork providing practical advice and photocopiable resources to enable readers to: Assess individual needs Organise groups (including group members, venue and transport) Set individual group targets Plan group sessions (examples of activities for each developmental area are provided) Evaluate progress. Each book offers ideas for developing good teamwork, including peer review, and working towards a trans-disciplinary approach where professionals can step into each others’ roles where appropriate.
