The author, is a member of an Autism Advisory Service which supports children in mainstream and special schools has developed a programme called All About Me based on the work of Jude Welton, a psychologist and mother of a child with Asperger syndrome. The programme is designed to explain and share the diagnosis with the child, with their parents present. Andrew has used this programme with over 200 children in the last few years and on the basis of his experience feels that it works well for the majority of children. In this paper, he suggests how to identify which children might benefit from this work, outlines the content of the three sessions and then gives details on the work done with four primary-aged boys. A booklet is produced at the end of the sessions and an example of this is given in the Appendix. This paper will be of interest and value to parents and professionals wanting to share and discuss the diagnosis with children and young people on the autism spectrum. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report comes from the Working Together With Parents Network in Scotland. This is part of a wider UK network that was established in 2006. Its aim is to collect and share good practice in supporting parents who have a learning disability, and also to identify where good practice is lacking and change is needed. This may be policy change, or change in practice. In Scotland the Network has met regularly to hear the experiences of parents and practitioners. The Network spoke to parents from four families who were known to members of the Network. A number of families were not willing to share their stories for this report, even with the promise of anonymity. In addition to these stories, a piece of research conducted by a social worker who is a member of the Network, is included. She spoke to four children, from three different families, whose parents have a learning disability.
