Abstract: |
This book looks at the small transitions in everyday life that can be big issues for a child with autism and offers simple and effective strategies to make change less of a daily challenge. Facing any type of change can cause confusion and anxiety for individuals with autism spectrum conditions. The authors explain why seemingly minor changes to routine can be emotionally distressing for these children and offer parents practical solutions for coping with common transitions. These include; switching from a weekday to weekend schedule, the changing of the seasons, and sleeping in a different bed when on holiday. Drawing on their own experience, the authors provide insights, helpful scripts, signs and sketches to use along the way. They show how, with a little thought and preparation, parents can reduce the stress surrounding change for their child and the whole family. The book is aimed at the parents of children with autism but is also expected to be of interest to the professionals working alongside them. |
