Safeguarding Your Child with Autism, written by experts for parents and professionals, describes the scope of safety issues, how the presence of autism contributes to an elevated risk, and the strategies and tools that can be used to minimize the hazards and consequences at home, school, and in the community. Most importantly, the book offers a prescriptive focus on teaching children how to be safe with special emphasis given to elopement (wandering), and how to assess and treat for this especially risky behavior. It covers proven instructional approaches--direct teaching, role play, modeling, and experiential learning--which incorporate effective teaching strategies such as predictability, prompts and reinforcement, and visual supports. In addition, the book describes numerous useful devices and technology from alarms to monitors to trackers. And it offers essential advice on how to proactively collaborate with law enforcement and first responders.

'A wise SatNav for what is often a bewildering, or even scary, zone of parenting. The book offers real-world, road-tested, child-first and family-friendly advice; while also highlighting the twin truths that autism is not a tragedy, and that adaptation and acceptance are not resignation' David Mitchell, bestselling author and co-translator of The Reason I Jump 'A must-read for anyone with an autistic child in their life' Laura James, author of Odd Girl Out Written by Jessie Hewitson, an award-winning journalist at The Times, Autism is the book she wishes she had read when her son was first given the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. It combines her own experiences with tips from autistic adults, other parents - including author David Mitchell - as well as advice from autism professionals and academics such as Professor Simon Baron-Cohen. Autism looks at the condition as a difference rather than a disorder and includes guidance on: · What to do if you think your child is autistic · How to understand and support your child at school and at home · Mental health and autism · The differences between autistic girls and boys 'It is incredibly useful and informative, full of new research and interviews that put right an awful lot of misinformation. I cannot recommend this highly enough' The Sun 'Exceptionally useful and informative' Uta Frith, Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development, UCL

This book is about how the author and his family empowered their son to transform himself from an extremely autistic toddler, written off by the medical establishment as severely disabled, into a happy and successful 6-year-old living a full contented life and thriving in a mainstream school. It is about the unusually effective treatments they discovered, what they learnt from them and how they strive to continue applying these lessons as he grows and new challenges emerge. It also proposes a radical and inspiring new way to understand the autistic condition, based on the inner-richness of each autistic person rather than on their external behaviour. Its aim is to serve as an important and practical resource for other parents and carers, leading them to better appreciate the unsuspected richness that silently exists deep within their child, and helping them to understand and apply new attitudes and behaviours towards them that will nurture rather than alienate. Through the many episodes recounted from one family's journey, Transforming Autism provides living examples of such an approach. The Transforming Autism blog supplements this book with further insights and ideas. It can be found at http: //transformingautism.co.uk Guy Shahar has also authored a collection of stories called "Leaving Town," which is available from Amazon.

Antisocial behaviour and conduct disorders are the most common reason for referral to child and adolescent mental health services and have a significant impact on the quality of life of children and young people and their parents and carers. Rates of other mental health problems (including antisocial personality disorder) are considerably increased for adults who had a conduct disorder in childhood. This new NICE guideline seeks to address these problems by offering advice on prevention strategies and a range of psychosocial interventions.It reviews the evidence across the care pathway, encompassing access to and delivery of services, experience of care, selective prevention interventions, case identification and assessment, psychological and psychosocial indicated prevention and treatment interventions, and pharmacological and physical interventions.Readership: Intended for healthcare professionals in CAMHS, but this will also be useful to professionals in primary care (as there is much emphasis on recognition).
