DOWNLOAD EBOOKA game-changing exploration of what the future holds for the first generation of mainstreamed neurodiverse kids that is coming of age. After sleepless nights, intensive research, and twenty-one years of raising a child, Ethan, with autism and intellectual disability, Cammie McGovern is approaching a distinct catch-22. Once Ethan turns twenty-two, he will fall off the "Disability Cliff." By aging out of the school system, he'll lose access to most social, educational, and vocational resources. The catch is this: These resources, limited as they may be, have trained Ethan in skills for jobs that don't exist and a life he can't have. Here, McGovern expands on her #1 New York Times piece, "Looking into the Future for a Child with Autism," a future that often appears grim, with statistics like an 85 percent unemployment rate for people with ID. McGovern spent a year traveling the country and looking at the options for work and housing--and to her surprise discovered reasons to be optimistic. She asks the tough questions: What should parents prioritize as they ready their children for adulthood? How do we redefine success for our children? How can we sustain a hopeful attitude while navigating one obstacle after another? As Ethan makes his way into the world, McGovern also looks into the hardest question of all: How can we ensure an independent future when we're gone? Hard Landings will serve as a renewed beacon of hope for parents who want to ensure the fullest life possible for their child's future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK'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

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow comforting would it be for you to know that you can help your adult child live well after you are gone? I believe this knowledge would be a great relief to you-and that is why I wrote this book. When Brandon, my 40-year-old autistic son, said, "I don't know what I would do without you, Mom," I knew I had to create a detailed written plan for his future. I have created a comprehensive, step-by-step plan and a personalized Instructional Care Manual for you to complete so that others can take care of and help your child live well. I will show you how to find the right people "to stand in for you" by creating a network of supportive individuals who can assist and be an advocate for your child. My Step-In Parenting Network program (SIPN) will help you identify potential "step-in parents" who can continue to love and care for your child when you no longer can. I've also included detailed chapters on independence because what you do today to help your child reach maximum independence will affect the quality of the rest of his or her life. Working on "letting go" of a special needs adult child is a sensitive area that many parents are afraid to face head on. However, the more your child knows and can learn to do, one step at a time, the easier it will be for your son or daughter to continue on. We cannot pretend that our children will be magically taken care of in the future if we don't do something about it today. This is why the Instructional Care Manual (ICM) will be crucial for every child with special needs. It will follow them wherever they go for the rest of their lives. I wrote this book to inspire you to move forward, knowing that there are things you can do to ensure that your child is not alone or forgotten. By taking action now, you will feel as empowered and relieved as I have become. This book is your best opportunity to be heard and to help your adult child reach maximum independence and live the best life possible-while you are still here, and after you're gone. "Amalia Starr takes her readers by the hand and walks this journey with us with sensitivity and decades of wisdom. Every special needs parent should read this book, which deals with the reality that our children need to be prepared to outlive us. From tips on how to launch our adult children into the maximum level of independent living to planning for them to thrive after we have left this planet, this book has it all-encouragement, practical advice, and the forms to create a personalized Care Manual."
