TOAST: Autism in the Early Years (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

“Alice Boardman has written a book bursting with answers to the questions that every parent will have at the front of their minds, and her answers are practical, positive and clear. The message for me is “listen to parents”. They have a wealth of advice to share”. Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Director of the Autism Research Centre, Cambridge University Your questions about autism answered! What would you ask a parent who has lived through the rollercoaster of the early years of autism? Why does my child have autism? Will my child speak? How do I improve my child’s diet? What is the best school for my special needs child? How do you cope? These are questions Alice wanted to ask when both her sons were diagnosed on the autistic spectrum. Feeling alone, feeling lost, Alice set out to find the answers. This book brings the real life experience of the early years of autism together in an easy-to-read question and answer style, that any parent, carer or professional supporting a child with autism needs to know. This is not a textbook. This is real life. Alice is a passionate advocate for autism awareness as a public speaker and in the media. She is also a volunteer for autism and disability charities.
